Do not

To form this contraction, cross out the "o" in "not" and replace it with an apostrophe. Then condense the words together so they form one word.

Contracted form = Don't

Repeat this with some other examples. Remember to remove the "o" and bring the "n" to the opposite side of the apostrophe.

• Can not → Can't
• Are not → Aren't
• Was not → Was't
• Does not → Doesn't
• Should not → Shouldn't
• Did not → Didn't
• Would not → Wouldn't
