Contractions - Singkatan Dalam Bahasa Inggris

Contractions - Singkatan Dalam Bahasa Inggris


Kalau kita membaca buku atau website berbahasa Inggris, kita sering menjumpai kata yang mengandung tanda petik sebelum (satu atau dua) huruf terakhirnya misalnya aren't dan can't . 
Lalu, apakah fungsi tanda petik itu?. Dalam bahasa Inggris, tanda petik seperti itu berfungsi untuk menyingkat dua kata atau ringkasnya singkatan, misalnya aren't adalah singkatan dari are not, can't adalah singkatan dari can not, dan sebagainya. 
Dan singkatan yang dimaksud dalam postingan ini adalah singkatan grammer bahasa Inggris yang disebut contractions, bukan singkatan bahasa Inggris gaul atau slang. Untuk selengkapnya perhatikan tabel di bawah ini.
