i vs am

The phrases 'i' and 'am' are not directly comparable as they serve different functions in a sentence. 'I' is a subject pronoun used to refer to oneself, while 'am' is a form of the verb 'to be' used in the present tense with the pronoun 'I'. It is essential to use both 'I' and 'am' together to form a complete sentence.

i

The pronoun 'I' is correct when used as the subject of a sentence or clause.

Use 'I' as the subject pronoun to refer to oneself in a sentence. It should always be capitalized.

Examples:

  • I am going to the store.
  • I like to read books.
  • I need to finish my homework.
