28 de mar. de 2024 · In English, both “I’m” and “I am” are correct, but they serve different purposes. Use “I am” when you want to sound more formal or emphasize something. For example, in a job interview, you might say, “I am qualified for this position.”
I’m should be used when writing informally and wanting to contract the phrase “I am”. It can only be used before a phrase noun, like “I’m a man.” I am should be used when writing formally or emphasizing a noun.
There is no significant difference between I’m and I am. The only difference is that we use “I’m” for informal contexts and “I am” for neutral or formal contexts. “I’m” is a contraction of “I am”.
26 de abr. de 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).
In fact, I've found that "I'm" is used before a verb, to be descriptive and to announce your location: "I am walking to the store", "I am a doctor", "I am at the store". But also, it's used before an adjective or adverb in simple present: "I am sure", "I am hungry".
Among other differences, I'm is informal, and it's more common in speech than writing regardless of formality. Plus "I am" can stand alone as a two-word reply to a question (from someone asking whether you're a native speaker or not, for example).
16 de dic. de 2011 · We'd say I'm instead of am, by repeating the subject -- and adding no new syllables, so timing isn't affected. This is allowed syntactically because Conjunction Reduction is an optional rule applied to reduce unwelcome repetition, and in any given case this repetition may simply not be unwelcome.
