Apostrophes for Omission Omission: we can also use an apostrophe to show that we have taken out or omitted something. This is useful when we want to shorten something or make speech in our writing seem more natural. e.g. I am going to the park = I’m going to the park We are a great team = We’re a great team It will never work = It’ll never work I have told you this already = I’ve told you this already
