1. Elision of _e_ at the end of a word: we generally use apostrophes **except in the case of imperatives**. Example: _Komm her!_ but _Ich komm' her_. See rule [D13/2](https://www.duden.de/sprachwissen/rechtschreibregeln/apostroph#D13).
|
97 |
+
2. Elision of _e_ in the middle of a word: We apply the rules in many cases except for when it is harder to read: _seh'n_ but _verstehn_. See rule [D13/1](https://www.duden.de/sprachwissen/rechtschreibregeln/apostroph#D13).
