Contractions are a key part of fluent English, helping you sound more natural in both speaking and writing. In this lesson, we focus on contractions with the verb "have".

Here's how you can transform sentences using "have" into contractions:

• "I have got a pen" becomes "I've got a pen".
• "You have got a pen" changes to "You've got a pen".
• "He has got a pen" is shortened to "He's got a pen".
• "She has got a pen" becomes "She's got a pen".
• "It has got a pen" is contracted to "It's got a pen".
• "We have got a pen" changes to "We've got a pen".
• "You have got a pen" again becomes "You've got a pen".
• "They have got a pen" is shortened to "They've got a pen".

These contractions make your speech smoother and more natural. Instead of saying "I have", say "I've". This small change can make a big difference in how native your English sounds.
