castrokins: Nairaland mods have little or no interest on educative or informative threads, I opened a similar thread a while back https://www.nairaland.com/2678150/why-nigerians-replaced-word-im and as usual it wasn't given due recognition like the boobs topic you just mentioned 1 Like |

NB I'm is used in writing an informal letter and must not be used in a formal letter. |

[quote author=Ploy post=26461545]'I'm' is the contraction of 'I am'. While 'am' is a primary auxiliary verb 'to be' like: is, are, was, were, am, be, being, and been. These auxiliary verbs could be used as helping verbs e.g. I am eating she is reading They are also used as linking verbs e.g. I am a teacher The difference between I'm and am is: I'm is the first person singular pronoun I and auxiliary verb am while 'am' is just an auxiliary verb that can't start a sentence. Hence, it's wrong to write: Am with you my yoriyori instead write I'm with you my yoriyori. [/quote Good one op I don't make that mistake in my writings & chat since I know what it means. Another one I have heard from people repeatedly even our television & radio presenters are not left out is the usage of "me & "I" at the same time. Example: Me I don't know o, etc. 1 Like |

"I'm" - ( I am ) consists of a subject pronoun 'I' and an auxillary verb "am" "Am" is simply an auxillary verb 1 Like 1 Share |

babs123: you are very correct. you don't use am to start a sentence. people mistake I'm to Am because they sound the same. You can't use Am without I preceding it except when asking a question. |
