The long and the short of it


Verb conjugation and contraction - in other words; "The short form".

In English we use the short form a lot. We say things like: I'm / you're / didn't etc. instead of I am / you are / did not etc.

We also use these short forms in informal written English. When we write in the short form, we use an apostrophe (') for the missing letter(s).
