Ploy: Apologies, I'm gonna blow your load technically. Am is a verb, an auxillary verb and a noun. Thus 'am' can start a sentence. An example is the bolded sentence, the 'am' in that sentence is a noun and I used it to start sentence. Correct me if I'm wrong......lol. |

Re: The Difference Between " I'm And Am" And How To Use Them by Kobicove(m): 8:20am On Jun 10, 2016 |
"I'm" is the contraction of "I am", just like "I've" is the contraction of "I have". It is absolutely wrong to use "Am" to start a statement quite disappointingly a lot of Nigerians are ignorant of this. The only time it's acceptable to use "Am" at the begining of a sentence is when that sentence is a question |

t is wrong to use 'Am' to start a sentence. So it is wrong to say : Am happy you came You should rather say: I am happy you came. Or you say I'm happy you came. [/quote] Are you sure about that? What of the following? Am I disturbing you? Am I correct? Etc these though are qns but are correct sentences. I agree with the other explanations. Thanks. |

In English,I'M is also know as the weak form of I AM because of the omission of the A thereby replacing in with apostrophy but I AM most times is used for formal statement why I'M is mostly used for informal statement #thank me later |
