In Pronouns^x, Contractions^x, Verbs^x

Very informative and clear once again, thanks! I never realised there were rules around the contraction isn't! It is great to now know. One final question (I hope I am not over using your knowledge, haha) is in regards to this sentence. Unfortunately, it is to do with the whom/who case again!...

Great, thanks a lot! I was wondering when you said, 'right again! the pronoun and it's object must make up...' In America (assuming this is where you are based) do they use apostrophes to show possession of these pronouns? (it's object). Where I am from, we omit the apostrophe to...

We're = contraction for we are: We're glad to help. (Pronouns have apostrophes only when two words are being shortened into one.) Where = location: Where are you going? (This is a place word, and so it contains the word here.) Were = a past tense form of the verb be: They were walking side...
