Do You Work Today? You Got Work Today? Are You Working Today?

Hi Anon,

Three things.

1) Don't check the box that doesn't allow people to reply to your post if you do want answers, okay?

2) "He's a day off" isn't idiomatic. Although "he's" used as a contraction for "he has" it's only used with another verb. He's been so happy since he met you but not He's a day off.

3) Your original question: Are you off today? Do you have today off? Are you working today? Do you have to go to work today?

thanks so much man. I apperciate it.

A question: Does the bolded word mean 'short form'?

Thanks.

Yes, "he's" a contraction of "he is" or "he has."

"It's" is a contraction of "it is."

etc.

Yes, it does mean 'short form' in that context. .The dictionary would give you a other meanings of this word.
