How to spell he'd
What it means: A contraction of 'he would'.
In a sentence: He'd like to play with the puppy.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as hed or he'de.
Same family: he, he'll, he's, his, himself. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: The word “he’d” is a contraction formed by shortening “he would” or “he had” and adding an apostrophe where the missing letters used to be. Contractions like this became common in spoken English and then standard in informal writing to show natural speech patterns.
