💡
Contraction (Kısaltma) Nedir? İki kelimenin birleştirilip kısaltılması ve aralarındaki harflerin apostrof (') ile değiştirilmesidir. Günlük konuşmada ve informal yazışmalarda çok yaygındır. Örnek: I am → I'm, do not → don't, she is → she's

📌 Contractions Neden Kullanılır?

Günlük Konuşmada Çok Yaygın!

İngilizce konuşurken kısaltmalar kullanmak daha doğal ses çıkarır. Tam haller (I am, do not, cannot) daha formal ve resmi duyulur.

💬 GÜNLÜK KONUŞMA vs RESMİ YAZI:

Günlük konuşma: "I'm happy. I don't know. She's my friend."
Resmi yazı: "I am happy. I do not know. She is my friend."

Günlük konuşmada kısaltma KULLANMAMAK çok garip duyulur!
