  1. Apr 27, 2021 · There is nothing whatsoever strange or ungrammatical about omitting a personal pronoun before 'am', 'are', 'is', etc, to avoid repetition. From the Swansea (Wales, UK) University web site, in the 'Student FAQ section': I am an International Student and am experiencing financial difficulties. Is there any help available to me?

  2. I used to think PM/AM was correct, but at some point, I switched to using p.m./a.m. for reasons I can't recall. I know that in practical, casual writing, people tend to use whatever form is most convenient to them, but I'm curious about what the official usage—should it exist—actually is.

  3. Oct 16, 2021 · Getting relative pronouns like "who" to agree with verbs can seem tricky. But it's actually quite easy. The pronoun "who" takes the same number and person as its antecedent, in this case "I." So "It is I who am" is correct in this case.

  4. Dec 16, 2011 · This makes am feel rather isolated out there. Again, this isn't a grammatical problem per se, but it can occasion some distress in some readers. I say "readers" because nobody would say such a sentence, of course. We'd say I'm instead of am, by repeating the subject -- and

  5. For a long time, I have been convinced that the use of the word am without the word I either before or after it is incorrect. For instance, saying Am going all by itself. However, I recently ran a search on it to try and clear up the confusion, but that has left me even more confused than I was to begin with!

I is correct in this case. Jim, John and you (I) are the subjects of the verb to go. Therefore I is correct. When the pronoun is the object of the verb me should be used.

  7. I am on it in your first example sounds like a shortened version of I’m on the case, a colloquial way of saying that the speaker is dealing with it. In the context of some kind of dispute, as in your second example, they’re at it again means that they have started doing again whatever it was that was a component in the dispute.

  8. A contraction is an abbreviation. And I am is invariably stressed, and usually alone, in speech. If it's spoken normally, it's always I'm. So saying I am in a normal sentence is already marking yourself as not a native speaker.

  9. AM是拉丁语ante meridiem的缩写,意为上午,一般指是早上八点到无限接近于十二点这段时间,但广义上也指凌晨间。 PM是拉丁语post meridiem的缩写,意为下午,与上午相对,从正午十二点到十八点的一段时间,一般指从正午十二点后到日落的一段时间。

  10. Apr 26, 2015 · 'I'm' is always used in conjunction with a noun phrase. You cannot write "A boy, I'm", but you can write "A boy, I am". 'I'm' may also be considered informal outside speech or a literary scope. 'I am' is also longer to pronounce, and therefore has more emphasis (as pointed out by one of the answers).
