Are the sentences above correct?
Short words or short forms?
For example, 'I am' can be contracted into 'I'm', which is a short word.

From GuruBlue:
Instead of the second "after that", I would substitute "then". What does the "them" refer to? It is not clear in that sentence.
#3. Use the term "contractions".
After you read the following passage, answer the question using contractions.
Notice, I put a period at the end of the sentence instead of a question mark.
