Cách sử dụng
The word 'contraction' in English is used to describe a shortened version of a word or phrase. For example, instead of saying "I am", we often say "I'm" which is a contraction. It is commonly used in informal spoken English, but should be avoided in more formal situations like job interviews or academic writing. It is important to understand and use contractions correctly to sound more natural and fluent in English conversation.
