Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct verb conjugation. "I" requires "am", not "are". Instead of saying "i are it", say "i am it".
Common error
Avoid using "are" with the pronoun "I". This is a common error for non-native English speakers or in informal contexts but should be avoided in formal writing. The correct form is "i am".
