    We can change “he is” to “he’s”.

  2. Dear ma’am Tarana,

    1. They have can be contacted into they’ve and he is can be contacted into he’s.

    2. I recalled this word when my mother mentioned that I am not a docile child

    I think, in the given sentence above, “he is” can be contracted as “he’s”. With this, I can also recall the incident where I went to a party and the adults there asked us to be docile

    In the sentence “they have” can also be contracted as “they’ve”.
