✔ 最佳答案
crying, taking.......有 ing 尾的'g'被一個 ' 代替,是簡寫方式。
你一定有學過 he is /was/has 會被寫成 he's
you /we/ they are 會被寫成 you're, we're, they're
she had ,I have 會被寫成 she'd, I've
例子還有很多。在正式文章裡,這些簡寫是可以接受的。
但是,在一些口語化的對話,和不太正式的文章裡 (如通俗小說、漫畫.......等),有些簡寫來自美國式英文,例如:
I gonna/ gotta/ wanna go home. 即 gonna=going to打算走
gotta=have get to必須走
wanna=want to想走
I was late 'cause / 'cos I could not get up early. 我遲到因為不能早起。 'cause'或 'cos 即是 because的簡寫。
'ing' 中,省除'g'的簡寫,和以上美國式的簡寫,最好不要用在功課或正統文件中,很容易被認為是錯的。

Hi, I am glad that you like to ask! Never say 蠢, you are clever because you like to ask!

There is ONLY a short-form in American English, Amercian likes to do that sometimes.
參考: living in USA
