Verb To Be Contractions

We can use two forms of contractions with negative verb to be.

Short Form 1	Short Form 2
you aren't	you're not
he isn't	he's not
she isn't	she's not
it isn't	it's not
we aren't	we're not
they aren't	they're not

Note:

You can't contract I am not as ~~I amn't~~!

Don't forget: I am too tall to ride this ride, aren’t I?
