We have seen that some contracted forms can stand for two different full forms: I'd = I had or I would. Find in the text the contracted forms that stand for two different full forms, and say what these are.
The contracted forms in the text that stand for two different full forms are I'd, he'd, and she's.
- I'd stands for I had or I would.
- He'd stands for He had or He would.
- She's stands for She is or She has.
Explanation
The textbook context explicitly lists 'I'd', 'she's', and 'he'd' (in the phrase 'he'd had enough') as contracted forms. Following the pattern set by the example 'I'd = I had or I would', students must identify the two possible full verb forms that can follow the pronoun in each contraction. 'He'd' functions identically to 'I'd', allowing for 'he had' or 'he would'. Similarly, 'she's' can be expanded using the verb 'is' or the auxiliary 'has'.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify all contracted forms with pronouns in the text (I'd, she's, he'd).
Step 2: Apply the rule that contractions with 'd can stand for 'had' or 'would', and contractions with 's can stand for 'is' or 'has'.
Step 3: List the two possible full forms for each identified contraction.
