İngilizce kısaltmalar, iki veya daha fazla kelimeyi belirli harfleri kaldırarak ve genellikle bir kesme işareti ekleyerek birleştiren bir tür kısaltmadır.
Yalnızca belirli sözcükler kısaltılabilir:
tipik olarak küçük ve yaygın sözcükler (not, is/are),
özellikle zamirler (I, he/she/it, they) ve
kipli fiiller (can, will, might, must, should, would, could).
Birden fazla kelimeyi temsil etmelerine rağmen,ingilizce kısaltmalar tek bir kelime gibi davranır. Dahası, kısaltmaların hepsinin belirli bir yazılışı vardır, bu da kelimeleri istediğiniz gibi birleştiremeyeceğiniz anlamına gelir.
Yine de dikkatli olun, çünkü iki farklı kısaltma aynı şekilde hecelenebilir,
örneğin
I would ve I had gibi, her ikisi de I’d gibi kısaltılır.
- I would = I’d
- I had= I’d
