You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
The sentence "Fred noted it's a poor time to plant spring flowers until after the last frost" correctly shows how the apostrophe is used to form a contraction.
The correct sentence that shows how the apostrophe is used to form a contraction is:
"It's a poor time to plant spring flowers until after the last frost."
To understand why this is the correct sentence, we need to look at the contraction "it's." "It's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has." The apostrophe in this case represents the omission of the letter "i" from "is" or "ha" from "has." So, "it's" combines the pronoun "it" with the verb "is" or "has."
