An apostrophe (') is used to take the place of a letter. This makes a new word.
Today, we are going to look at "had/would" contractions.
The apostrophe (') takes the place of the "ha" in "had" and the "woul" in "would."

What pattern do you see in the list of contractions?
The contraction can stand for two different combination of words.

https://cms.accelerate-ed.com/s3/r/content/Elementary/docs/LanguageArts3/audio/ELA3_17_2Page3_55.mp3
There is a pattern with "d" contractions.
The contraction of I'd could mean "I had" or "I would."
Read the sentence to find out the meaning of the contraction.
Example: I'd love to go to the park this afternoon.
I would love to go to the park this afternoon.

https://cms.accelerate-ed.com/s3/r/content/Elementary/docs/LanguageArts3/audio/ELA3_17_2Page3_57.mp3
Another way to find the meaning of the contraction is to look at the words that come after it.
If the contraction has "have" after, it usually means "would."
Example: I'd have been in school, but it is a weekend.
I would have been in school, but it is a weekend.

Let's practice creating our "d" contractions. Type the contraction for each set of words.

Nice job! You sure know your contractions!
Cluck, cluck.
Try again! Please reread about contractions again.
