10.6 Contraction Action
A contraction is a shortened form of one or two words (one of which is usually a verb). In a contraction, an apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter or letters. Some contractions are: I'm (I am), can't (cannot), how's (how is), and Ma'am (Madam).

Read a book with a contraction in the title or subtitle. For this task, the target word must contain an apostrophe. All About Contractions

Would Gone 'til November be considered a one word contraction?

I have no books on my TBR list that have contractions.

Is ain't considered a contraction? I'm thinking about the book Ain't She Sweet?.
