Question 3 • * SY2025-26 - 1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 Sem 1 CR

Which sentence uses a contraction incorrectly?

Answer
A
You’re team is playing next weekend.
B
I thought you’d want to swap lunches.
C
They’ve never heard such a comical story.
D
The house she’d visited was bordered by flowers.

Explanation

“You’re” is a contraction of “you are,” so choice A would read “You are team is playing,” which is incorrect. It should say “Your team is playing next weekend,” using “your” to show possession. The contractions in the other sentences are used correctly: “you’d” means “you would,” “they’ve” means “they have,” and “she’d” means “she had.”
