How'd they do that? - What does 'd mean?

[Tung_Quoc]

Dear teacher,

1.On TV, I always see the program whose title is:

[color=orange]How’d they do that?

What does “[color=blue]’d” mean?

2. Please read:

A: He’s cute. What his name?
B: Well,it’s a “she” really. Her name Fluffy.
A: Can I hold her?
B: Of course.
A: Ouch![color=orange]Why’d she do that?

What does “[color=blue]’d” mean?

Dear teacher,

What does “[color=blue]’d” mean? [color=red]’d = did

2. Please read:

A: He’s cute. What[color=red]'s his name? [color=red]( 's = is )
B: Well,it’s a “she” really. Her name[color=red]'s Fluffy. [color=red]( 's = is )
A: Can I hold her?
B: Of course.
A: Ouch![color=orange]Why’d she do that? [color=red]( 'd = did ) (“would” is unlikely, in my opinion.)

The contraction [color=red]'d can mean did, had or would. Which one it is depends on the context and the grammar in the rest of the sentence. In your sentence it means [color=red]did. (I doubt that “would” is the meaning.)

You also forgot [color=red]'s in two sentences. I inserted them.
