Grade 1 Grammar Worksheet
Circle the contraction for the two words.
he is
are not
I am
has not
is not
let us
she is
did not
A contraction squeezes two words into one and uses an apostrophe to show where letters were left out: do not becomes don't, and I am becomes I'm. First graders hear contractions all the time, but they often write them without the apostrophe or with it in the wrong place. On this grade 1 worksheet each line shows two words, and your child circles the contraction made from them from three spellings.
The wrong spellings leave out the apostrophe or put it in the wrong spot. Support sheets use the most common ones, such as don't and it's; challenge sheets add we're, won't and I've. Point to the apostrophe and ask which letters it replaced.
Common Core standard: L.2.2.C
