It's just one of those secret rules that we all pickup and use when it's our first language.

Like the order of adjectives.

Yeah for sure it is. The biggest difference is that there's a fairly simple way to explain the adjectival order: "opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, purpose". It's apparently very difficult to explain when you can and cannot use contractions in a concise way.
