Apostrophes to Mark Omission
Let's explore apostrophes in this fun KS2 English quiz! Apostrophes mark omission, making words shorter. Like magic, 'I have' becomes 'I've' and 'you will' becomes 'you'll' when we talk. In writing, the apostrophe takes the place of the missing letters, showing the 'o' in 'don't' for 'do not'.
Characters in stories talk like we do, so we use contractions in their dialogue. But watch out for where that sneaky apostrophe goes – it makes your writing clear and cool! Test your apostrophe skills in this quiz and become a contraction champion!
