Vanessa provides examples and quizzes to help learners understand the nuances and proper usage of each preposition, emphasizing the most common and natural choices in daily conversation.
Vanessa explains contractions, defining them as two words combined with an apostrophe (e.g., 'I am' becomes 'I'm'). She covers contractions with the verb 'to be' (I'm, you're, he's, she's, it's, we're, they're) and other verbs like 'do' (don't, didn't, doesn't), as well as contractions with 'will' (I'll, you'll, he'll, she'll, it'll, they'll, we'll) and the irregular 'won't' for 'will not'.
