Grammar notes

⚡ Short and Fast ('m / 's / 're)

When English wants to move fast, it uses short forms. I am becomes I'm, she is becomes she's, and they are becomes they're. The meaning stays the same. Only the form gets shorter.

  • Example: I'm tired.
  • Example: We're ready.

Quick Rule

  • I → 'm
  • he / she / it → 's
  • you / we / they → 're

Short forms are small, quick, and very common in real English.
