短縮形

I’m

1. Contraction of I am.

使用する際の注意点

• The contraction I'm is not used when the word am would act as an auxiliary (and fall at the end of a clause). For example, in response to the question "Are you okay?", the reply "Yes, I'm okay" is widely used, while "Yes, I'm" (as a complete sentence) or even "Yes, I'm, but..." are never used, and would always be said as "Yes, I am" or "Yes, I am, but..." respectively. This is in keeping with a general rule that certain contractions are never used at the end of a clause.
