Contrações

Nível: 6.1

No inglês, as palavras e combinações mais usadas têm formas contraídas (contractions), que aparecem principalmente na fala e em textos informais. Essas contrações são formadas principalmente com pronomes + verbos auxiliares (be, have) e verbos modais.

As contrações ajudam a falar mais rápido e soar mais natural — nenhuma conversa em inglês acontece sem elas. É muito importante reconhecê-las e entendê-las, especialmente quando você escuta inglês ou lê mensagens, e-mails e textos do dia a dia.
