These are particularly true of contractions that combine pronouns with 'would' or 'had'.
这种形式在代词和would或had结合是尤其常见。
One might say 'Mum'd' instead of 'Mum would' in informal conversation, for example, but would not write it.
比如在非正式的对话中,有人可能会说Mum'd而不是Mum would,但书写时不会这么写。
Common mistakes
常见错误
The addition of apostrophes can lead to people becoming mixed-up between homophones - words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings.
添加撇号会让人们把同音异义单词搞混,这些单词发音相同,但含义不同 。
One of the most common mistakes is the difference between who's and whose.
最常见的错误是who's和whose之间的差异。
'Who's' is a contracted form of 'who is' while 'whose' is the possessive form of the pronoun 'who'.
Who's是who is的缩略形式,而whose是代词who的所有格形式。
'You're' and 'your' create similar problems for native and second language English speakers.
不管是对于英语母语者还是把英语作为第二语言的人来说,you're和your也存在类似的问题。
