• 00:00 - 00:02

  Hello, sweet little boys and girls.

• 00:03 - 00:03

  How are you?

• 00:05 - 00:06

  In today's English lesson?

• 00:06 - 00:08

  We're going to learn about contractions.

• 00:09 - 00:10

  Have you ever heard off this word?

• 00:11 - 00:14

  What I mean by contractions and what?

• 00:14 - 00:14

  Our apostrophes?

• 00:19 - 00:20

  Look at this picture.

• 00:20 - 00:21

  What do you see?

• 00:22 - 00:24

  Let's say this is a machine.

• 00:25 - 00:27

  Okay? What does this machine do?

• 00:27 - 00:33

  It squeezes two words together and takes out one letter

• 00:33 - 00:38

  or two letters to make a shorter word to make

• 00:38 - 00:39

  one word.

• 00:39 - 00:40

  So what does this machine do?

• 00:41 - 00:48

  It takes two words, squeezes wth, um, and makes a

• 00:48 - 00:48

  shorter word.

• 00:49 - 00:49

  But what happens?

• 00:51 - 00:55

  It drops one letter or two letters and it puts

• 00:56 - 00:56

  an apostrophe.

• 00:58 - 01:01

  Let's start testing this machine.

• 01:03 - 01:06

  Look at the first trying rectangle.

• 01:07 - 01:08

  The orange rectangle.

• 01:08 - 01:09

  Can you read it?

• 01:10 - 01:10

  What do you see?

• 01:11 - 01:17

  Are not are not Now, let's put the are not

• 01:17 - 01:18

  in the machine.

• 01:22 - 01:27

  And what came out of the machine aren't aren't.

• 01:28 - 01:29

  Do you see?

• 01:30 - 01:30

  Where is the old?

• 01:31 - 01:32

  The is not there.

• 01:34 - 01:34

  What do we have instead?

• 01:35 - 01:37

  We have a little apostrophe.

• 01:38 - 01:40

  So this is called contraction.

• 01:42 - 01:47

  Contraction is a short word that came from two words.

• 01:48 - 01:54

  We put it inside the machine and the machine squeezes

• 01:55 - 01:57

  the two words and puts an apostrophe.

• 01:59 - 02:01

  Let's drive the machine one more time.

• 02:03 - 02:05

  She will.

• 02:06 - 02:08

  She will, Yeah.

• 02:08 - 02:11

  Let's all put it inside the machine that she will.

• 02:14 - 02:14

  What happened?

• 02:15 - 02:15

  What came out?

• 02:16 - 02:20

  Shell She'll Where is the W?

• 02:21 - 02:22

  Where is the I?

• 02:24 - 02:28

  They were deleted and we put an apostrophe instead.

• 02:29 - 02:30

  This is another contraction.

• 02:32 - 02:37

  One more example I have inside the machine.

• 02:40 - 02:46

  I've I've is the contraction and same thing to he

• 02:47 - 02:55

  had he'd he'd is the contraction now?

• 02:58 - 02:59

  Oh, no.

• 03:00 - 03:01

  The machine just broke.

• 03:03 - 03:06

  The words were going Wrong way Can you help fix

• 03:07 - 03:11

  the machine by writing the to correct words for each

• 03:11 - 03:17

  off short squeezed words Now this word is squeezed doesn't

• 03:17 - 03:22

  is squeezed and the machine is broken Can you put

• 03:23 - 03:28

  Can you write the two original words for Doesn't What

• 03:28 - 03:29

  are the two words for?

• 03:30 - 03:32

  Doesn't excellent job?

• 03:33 - 03:36

  It's Does not, does not.

• 03:37 - 03:38

  How about there?

  These Children are talking very fast and squeezing together some

• 04:03 - 04:04

  of their words.

• 04:05 - 04:07

  Can you change the words that have apostrophes?

• 04:09 - 04:12

  Now Can you find the contractions in their conversations.

• 04:14 - 04:15

  Let's start with the first conversation.

• 04:16 - 04:20

  I will not won't ride a skateboard.

• 04:22 - 04:22

  I am.

• 04:24 - 04:26

  I am scared of falling off.

• 04:27 - 04:31

  Who can tell where the contractions are?

• 04:33 - 04:36

  Remember, contractions always have apostrophes.

• 04:39 - 04:42

• 05:07 - 05:10

  and tell where the contractions are.

• 05:17 - 05:23

  Okay, now these words are being chopped up on the

• 05:23 - 05:28

  chopping board to remove the letters that are not needed.

• 05:29 - 05:32

  We removed some letters that are not needed now.

• 05:33 - 05:34

  It's just like the machine.

• 05:35 - 05:38

  We just want to take out the letters that we

• 05:38 - 05:39

  don't need and put apostrophe.

• 05:41 - 05:44

  Look at the first one it's there is.

• 05:45 - 05:46
