They are simply called contractions. The most common contractions are a combination of a pronoun and a verb (or auxiliary verb), a verb and an auxiliary verb, a verb (or auxiliary verb) and an adverb.

The contractions using a pronoun/verb combination function as the subject and verb of a sentence or clause. The contractions that are verb/auxiliary verb or verb/adverb combinations function as the verb of a sentence or clause. Examples:

Pronoun/verb: You will like this book. Or, You'lllike this book.

Verb/auxiliary verb: We should have called home. Or, You should've called home.

Verb/adverb: We can not go today. Or, We can't go today.

Additional Information: Most contractions are expressions formed by condensing two Words into one. One or more letters are removed from the original Words, and an apostrophe is added to take their place.

The following are some common contractions.

I'd you'd they'd he'd here's isn't couldn't

I'll you'll they'll he'll there's aren't shouldn't

I'm you're they're he's where's don't wouldn't

I've you've they've she'd what's doesn't won't

it'll we'd we're she'll who'll didn't weren't

it's we'll we've she's who's can't let's

Contractions may be used for ease of reading, for effect, or simply to squeeze

more information into a limited space.

Original: You should not be driving.

Contraction: You shouldn't be driving.

Many experts say contractions are appropriate only for informal writing and

speech, not for formal writing. However, if Words such as it is, do not, or let

us make a sentence stiff, overly formal, or difficult to read, it may be appropriate to substitute it's, don't, or let's. Used in moderation, contractions can be

an effective tool.

Avoid nonstandard contractions. The first example below is confusing because

most readers will anticipate that dog's is being used in the possessive sense

and will be expecting you to say something about the dog's injured nose, paw,

or whatever.

Confusing:The dog's injured.

Clear: The dog is injured.
