 ATTENTION

        Certaines contractions ont deux sens:

          1.    He'd peut être    he had    ou   he would   cela dépend du reste de la phrase

                     They'd like to go to the park   (conditionnel: they would like...     ils aimeraient...)

                     We'd finished dinner before they arrived   (past perfect: we had finished dinner...)

          2.    she's  peut être   she is    ou    she has

                    she's got two sisters    ( she has got two sisters)

                    she's twelve years old    (she is twelve years old)

    remarques:

    a)    La contraction   's   ne s'emploie pas uniquement avec des pronoms personnels.

       Elle peut être utilisée avec des noms communs, des noms propres, les mots  interrogatifs, here, there

         * The train's late          * Mummy's in the kitchen        * Bob's arrived  (has)

         * Where's my book?      * Who 's eaten my porridge? (has)     * Here 's your jacket     * There's a dog in the garden

    b)  dans certains cas il y a deux contractions possibles.

          He is not:            he's not    ou     he isn't  

         They are not:      they're not    ou   they aren't

             mais on ne mettra pas les deux contractions en même temps:    they'ren't 

     c) à la forme affirmative on ne met pas de contraction lorsque l'auxiliaire est en fin de phrase.

          * Are you ready?   Yes we are    et non we're       *  You are late!  Yes I am     (I'm)

     d) forme interro-négative

         dans la forme non contractée not est placé après le sujet

          Doesn't he sing?           Does he not sing?

    Ces contractions s'emploient dans le langage parlé ou pour écrire à des amis.

    Dans les autres cas on ne les utilise pas.

exercice:

 écrire sous forme non contractée tout ce qui est en rouge (ne pas oublier le sujet s'il est rouge)

rappel:  I'd rather = I would rather  (je préfèrerais)            I'd better = I had better  (je ferais mieux)
