Los auxiliares «be,» «have,» «will» y «would» se contraen como sigue:

am > ‘m; «have» > ‘ve; «will» > ‘ll; «is«> ‘s; «has» > ‘s; «would» > ‘d; «are» > ‘re; «had» > ‘d

Notar que ‘s puede ser is o has, y que ‘d puede ser had o would:

• He’s going = He is going.
• He’s gone = He has gone.

Estas contracciones se usan después de pronombres, here, there, algunas «question words» y nombres cortos:

Las contracciones afirmativas no se usan al final de las oraciones:
