Why do we use contractions in English?

Today we’re looking at contractions when is good to use them, and when is bad to to use them Are you ready!? Because I’m! …I am… Because I’m… Because I’m… Why is it that the Terminator chose to say: Instead of “I will be back” Why did Bill Clinton NOT contract this sentence: and why did king Joffrey not use the contraction “I’m” and instead say: So obviously it’s better to use contractions in everyday speech.

For example “I’m tired”, “I’m eating” “I’ll do this” That sounds normal It would sound like a robot to say things like: “I AM eating” “I WILL be back” Fun fact: The Terminator himself, Arnold schwarzenegger told this story pronouncing the “I’LL” was quite difficult for him with his thick Austrian accent I will be back however the director insisted that he say “I’ll be back” and not “I will be back” Why?

Because, it sounds more human to say “I’ll” - The contraction But of course that’s not always true sometimes it’s better NOT to contract, for example: Well let’s say someone asks you: and you reply: this is a very common mistake I see with my students and remember not to do it “Yes I’ve” - That doesn’t sound good You must have something after “Yes I finished” - Fine “Yes I’ve” - Not fine If you don’t have that extra information after don’t contract it “Yes I have” - That’s okay and the same is true for other Subject - Auxillary / Modal verb combos.

Don’t contract them if there is no extra information afterwards Another example: Again we have just the subject this time with a modal verb you should say: “Yes I would” Not “Yes I’d” Why? Because there’s no extra information If you contract it remember to put that extra information yes I’d love to and negatives - Fine to contract In fact it’s better, you should contract the negatives pretty much all the time. For example: That sounds a little strong and in some cases maybe aggressive no I haven’t that looks better, more friendly, more human, not so much robot!

So, with negatives just remember to contract it Not using a contraction makes the sentence stronger it adds emphasis and again could sound more aggressive so be careful And this is why King Joffrey said: He wanted to sound serious and add emphasis I do not miss Joffrey See? Stronger! And it also sounds more formal when it’s not contracted That’s why your English teacher will always say: “In formal writing don’t use contractions” Because it sounds more formal when you don’t contract.

Also, some language experts suggest That people don’t use contractions when they speak When they want people to believe them To sound more convincing So basically when they’re lying Oh he really wanted everyone to believe him! So the next time your boyfriend or girlfriend says: “I did NOT cheat on you” That means they definitely cheated on you. Sorry. you sorry I’m joking please ignore that.
