  1. John isn't a doctor.

  2. It's not a small office.

  3. Where's James from?

  4. It's a small school.

Contractions are used in English to make sentences sound more casual and conversational. They are formed by combining words and omitting certain letters, which are replaced with an apostrophe. This helps streamline speech and writing, making communication more efficient and friendly. Understanding how to use contractions correctly is an important part of learning English.
