Contraction of I am.

Our Living Language Speakers of some scattered varieties of American English sometimes use I'm instead of I've or I have in present perfect constructions, as in
 13 and have been dancing since I was 4. I think the magazine is great because of all the beautiful pictures and well-written articles. There was a German ballet magazine at the store, but I bought the English-language one because it wasn't was·n't  

Contraction of was not.


wasn't was not

The January issue was hard to put down because of the wonderful, luscious photos and articles. The hip replacement story was a winner, especially the comparisons between hip replacement and hip resurfacing Hip Resurfacing is form of arthroplasty which has been developed as a less radical alternative to total hip replacement (THR). In the United States, the FDA approved hip resurfacing using the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) on May 9, 2006. . I also enjoyed reading the article on the ballet debate ("Beyond Ballet Bashing bash
