Contractions
We know contractions from sentences like, “He’s my best friend” or “I’d like to ask you a question,” where the apostrophe indicates the existence of missing letters. This type of contraction is completely acceptable and an important feature of English.
There are other contractions that are only part of spoken English. They do not use an apostrophe and they often effect multi-word verb structures.
Examples
- I dunno anything about this one. (Line 30)
- I’m gonna find out now. (Line 32)
- I gotta five-hour erection going right now. (Line 55)
- That’s gotta be it, right? (Line 65)
