For the umpteenth time I'll say this, there's a difference between "I'm and "am". In recent times, informed social media users have subjected people who don't know the difference between "I'm" and "am" to public ridicules, but despite that, some people have refused to get it.
While that could be due to their personal bullheadedness, I'd like to believe it's because of pure ignorance. In this episode of Grammar Lessons, I'll be breaking things down to bits, so everyone who ends up reading this post will be finally informed.
“I’m” is the contraction of “I am" while “am" is a primary auxiliary verb, to be used in the same way as: is, was, are, am, were, be, being, and been.
Eg. “I am” is contracted to “I’m” by removing the “A” and, it also affects or reflects in the pronunciation of such words.
"AM” is an auxiliary verb which helps the main verb. For example, “I am reading”. It would be completely wrong of you to say "Am reading". In the same vein, "it's" is also a contraction of"it is", so it would be wrong of you to say stuff like
"is a goal". Instead, say
"It is a goal" or "It's a goal". Rather than saying "is not true", say "it's not true" or "it is not true".
Having explained this subject with relatable examples, I hope I'll never see stuff like am fine, am bored, am going out, and others like that again, at least from people who I believe will be able to see this post. Should you have any question(s) about this, send them to my
DMs and I'll be more than happy to help you clear your confusions. As usual, like, retweet, and share this, so it will reach more people.
