The correct sentence that uses a contraction is:
Aren't you coming with me?
The sentence that correctly uses a contraction is "Aren't you coming with me?".
To determine which sentence correctly uses a contraction, we need to identify the contraction in each sentence. A contraction is a shortened form of two words, typically created by replacing one or more letters with an apostrophe.
In the options provided, "Aren't" is a contraction of "are not". The correct spelling of "aren't" is used in the first response, "Aren’t you coming with me?".
Let's go through the other options:
- "Lets" is not a contraction since it should be spelled as "Let's" – a contraction of "let us". So, the second response, "Lets go outside and jump on the trampoline!" does not correctly use the contraction.
- "Cann't" in the third response is not a standard contraction. The correct spelling is "can't", which is a contraction of "cannot". So, the third response, "My brother cann’t walk yet." does not correctly use the contraction.
- "The'yre" in the fourth response is not a proper contraction since "they're" – a contraction of "they are" – should be spelled with an apostrophe before the "y". Therefore, the fourth response, "The’yre my favorite players on the team." does not correctly use the contraction.
Overall, the correct sentence that uses a contraction is "Aren’t you coming with me?"
