Four pairs. The expansion test decides every one.
Six forms. Two of them are already right.
dont — does this need an apostrophe?
A missing letter, belonging, and the word that does neither.
don't = do not
what's = what is
can't = cannot
The apostrophe marks the gap.
Say the long version. If it expands, the apostrophe belongs.
Eight decisions in one short message. Two are already right.
Hi — sorry, I (1) dont have the figures yet. (2) Whats the deadline? The (3) manager's office said Friday, but the (4) student's are still sending them in. (5) Its a mess honestly. The (6) departments budget was cut last month and nobody told us. Every team has (7) its own version of the spreadsheet. This never happened in the (8) 1990's.
One contraction, one possessive.
Sentence 1: use a short form — don't, it's, can't, what's. Sentence 2: say that something belongs to someone — the company's, my friend's, the students'.
Any topic at all.
One per line.
