¿Qué son las contracciones?
Las contracciones son formas abreviadas de palabras, donde dos palabras se combinan y se eliminan algunas letras.
¿Cómo hacer contracciones?
Para hacer contracciones, se usa un apóstrofo en lugar de la letra eliminada.
I’m here. → I am here.
Estoy aquí.
She’s here → She is here.
Ella esta aquí.
¿Cuándo usar contracciones?
Las diversas formas del verbo 'to be', incluyendo 'am', 'is', y 'are', pueden contraerse. Por ejemplo:
forma completa | forma contraída | equivalente español | |
|---|---|---|---|
I | am | I'm | yo estoy/soy |
you | are | you're | tú estas/eres |
he/she/it | is | he's/she's/it's | él/ella esta/es |
we | are | we're | nosotros(as) estamos/somos |
you | are | you're | vosotros(as) estais/sois |
they | are | they're | ellos(as) estan/son |
She’s coming. → She is coming.
Ella está viniendo.
We’re talking → We are talking
Nosotras(as) estamos hablando
Auxiliares y modales negativos
'Not' se usa para hacer los verbos negativos. Para usar una forma contraída del verbo negativo, se elimina la letra 'o' y se usa un apóstrofo en su lugar. Esto se puede hacer tanto con los verbos modales como con los auxiliares.
forma completa | forma contraída |
|---|---|
are not | aren't |
is not | isn't |
was not | wasn't |
were not | weren't |
do not/does not | don't/doesn't |
did not | didn't |
have not/has not | haven't/hasn't |
had not | hadn't |
¡Advertencia!
Para usar la forma contraída de 'I am not', solo se puede contraer el verbo 'to be', no el marcador negativo. Así que la forma contraída será 'I'm not' en lugar de 'I amn't'.
Los verbos modales también se vuelven negativos usando 'not'. Al igual que los auxiliares, se pueden contraer eliminando la letra 'o' de 'not'. Por ejemplo:
She shouldn't go → She should not go.
Ella no debería ir.
He can’t sing. → He cannot sing.
El no puede cantar.
