Is it grammatically correct to say I am?
I’m is the contraction of “I am”, whereas am is simply the verb with no pronoun before it. No, it’s not grammatically correct to drop the “I” and start these phrases with “am”. Proper English requires the pronoun before the verb. Using the contraction (I’m) is the less formal (but still correct) way to say it.
When to use I am and am in a sentence?
Thus, if you are asked “How are you?” your reply should be “I’m fine” which also means “I am fine”. While ‘I’m’ and ‘I am’ is a first person singular pronoun consisting of I (pronoun) and Am (verb) and is used in starting a sentence, ‘am’ is just an auxiliary verb and it can’t be used to start a sentence.
Which is correct I am in or I am at?

Am is for the first person singular (I am), is is for the third person singular (he is, she is, it is) and are is for the first person plural (we are), the second person singular and plural (you are) and the third person plural (they are). Was/Were — These two verb forms are used for the past tense.
Do you think I am idle?

How do you say London or London?

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.
What does ‘I am Gerardo and I am here’ mean?
In that context, Gerardo is referring to his exact location. Now, if Gerardo happened to be a name notoriously known to belog to a public enemy, say, someone like Unabomber, and if his mere presence at the convention, say, in Washington DC, meant a threat par excellence, he’d be much more likely to have said: I am Gerardo and I am here.
