What Are Contractions?
- A contraction is a shortened version of the written and spoken forms of a word, syllable, or word group, created by omission of internal letters and sounds, i.e. I will = I’ll; can not = can’t.
- Such two-word contractions are commonly used in spoken English.
- They are like reductions of words, but also have omissions of vowels, consonants or both and are linked to the words on one or both sides.

These kind of words are short forms of other words that people use when speaking casually. They are not exactly slang, but they are a little like slang.
For example, “gonna” is a short form of “going to”. If you say “going to” very fast, without carefully pronouncing each word, it can sound like “gonna”.
