This Grade 3 contractions worksheet drills exact apostrophe placement. Grade 3 students decide where the apostrophe goes in haven't, shouldn't, we'll, isn't, don't, you're, couldn't, it's, and they're through nine fill-in-the-blank items plus a four-pair matching activity. The Grade 3 tasks emphasize that the apostrophe replaces missing letters, like the o in not or the wi in will. Every Grade 3 learner gains confidence spelling common contractions correctly and avoids frequent apostrophe errors in sentences and everyday informal writing.
