A quick and dirty solution would be:

Find:\b(I|[yY]ou|[hH]e|[sS]he|[iI]t|[wW]e|[tT]hey|[tT]hat|[tT]here|[hH]ere|[wW]hat|[wW]ho|[wW]here|[sS]hould|[cC]ould|[wW]ould|[mM]ust|[mM]ight|[cC]an|[dD]o|[dD]id|[dD]oes|[hH]ad|[hH]as|[hH]ave|[iI]s|[nN]eed|[oO]ught|[wW]as|[wW]ere)(ll|re|ve|nt|m|d|s)\b

Replace:\1'\2

It's not a perfect solution though, because it'll replace hell with he'll but also here with he're.
