Contractions 1

This Spelling quiz is called 'Contractions 1' and it has been written by teachers to help you if you are studying the subject at elementary school. Playing educational quizzes is an enjoyable way to learn if you are in the 3rd, 4th or 5th grade - aged 8 to 11.

This 'Contractions Part 1' spelling quiz asks elementary school children to spell some of the most common contractions shown when combining two words. Possessive contractions will be addressed in Part 2.

Sometimes we can combine two words and turn it into one. If you push two words together, we call that a contraction. Often, when doing this we delete one or two letters and in their place we put an apostrophe. Test your knowledge on these contractions by spelling the missing words.

1 .

____ going to go on a diet tomorrow!

I'me

I'm

Ia'm

I'am

The word I'm is I and am squished together.

2 .

____ been a long day and ____ not ended yet!

Its and its

It's and its

Its and it's

It's and it's

The first 'it's' represents the words it and has; the second 'it's' represents the words it and is.

3 .

____ you want to taste the broccoli?

Diddn't

Didn't

Did't

Did'nt

The two words being contracted here are did and not.

4 .

Surprise! ____ going to be a bridesmaid!

Your'e

Youre

You're

Yuor'e

It's an honor to be a bridesmaid and usually means you are close friends or relatives with the bride.

5 .

You ____ have another cookie.

carnt

carn't

can't

cann't

We are pushing can and not together. The apostrophe is replacing the letters 'no'.

6 .

wooldn't

woudn't

woudnt'

The words would and not are being combined here.

7 .

For this one, the apostrophe replaces one letter.

8 .

If you don't do as I say ____ tell your mom.

I'll

I'sle

Ais'le

I'l

The first three words are homophones, this means they sound the same. I'll, isle and aisle are all pronounced the same way but mean different things.

9 .

I ____ believe my eyes.

couldno't

could'nt

could't

couldn't

This means he watched the magic trick and he could not believe what he saw!

10 .

The apostrophe represents the missing letter - in this case, the 'o'.
