Explanation:

1. did not

To form the contraction of "did not", we omit the "o" in "not" and use an apostrophe to show the omission. So "did not" becomes "didn't".

For "was not", we omit the "o" in "not" and place an apostrophe. Thus, "was not" contracts to "wasn't".

To contract "we are", we combine "we" and "are" into "we're" by omitting the "a" in "are" and using an apostrophe.

Answer:

didn't

2. was not
