Analyze the sentence pairs
The image contains pairs of sentences where one sentence contains a contraction and the other is its expanded, formal equivalent (or vice versa). Let's analyze each pair to identify the relationship:
- "She simply couldn't bear it." vs. "She simply could not bear it."
- Contractions are expanded: "couldn't" becomes "could not".
- "Weren't you at the last party in June?" vs. "Were you not at the last party in June?"
- "Weren't" is expanded to "Were... not" (with the negative particle "not" moving after the subject "you" in the question form).
- "You won't forget to give her a ring, will you?" vs. "You will not forget to give her a ring, will you?"
- "won't" is expanded to "will not".
- "We're all going on holiday tomorrow!" vs. "We are all going on hoilday tomorrow!" (Note: "hoilday" is a typo in the original image text).
- "We're" is expanded to "We are".
- "Who're you going with?" vs. "Who are you going with?"
- "Who're" is expanded to "Who are".
- "Mightn't it look better over here?" vs. [Blank]
- The contraction "Mightn't" needs to be expanded. In a question, "Mightn't it..." expands to "Might it not...".
- "What've you done that for?" vs. [Blank]
- The contraction "What've" (What have) needs to be expanded to "What have".
Expand the remaining sentences
Using our understanding of Grammatical Expansion and Contractions:
- For "Mightn't it look better over here?":
- The contraction "Mightn't" is "might not". In a question, the negative particle "not" is placed after the subject "it".
- Expanded sentence: "Might it not look better over here?"
- For "What've you done that for?":
- The contraction "'ve" stands for "have".
- Expanded sentence: "What have you done that for?"
