1) substitute for a word/space in a contraction. 2) show possession when placed at the end of a word and followed by 's', save for words that end in 's' or the word 'its'. 3) be used instead of a 'g' in the progressive tense (is doing, was doing, etc.). 1) He's climbing pretty rapidly.
2) Stephanie's shorts were too small, but nobody complained. 3) I'm checkin' e-mail. |
