Read I am. Change one detail. Whisper or write it first.

The small pattern behind the sentences: I Am, You Are

I means the person speaking. Put am after it: “I am ready.” In everyday speech and informal writing, I am often becomes I’m. The apostrophe shows that one letter has been removed.
You means the person or people listening. Put are after it: “You are early.” The short form is you’re. Do not write your here. Your shows possession, as in “your phone.”

A country and a nationality answer different questions. “I am from Pakistan” names the country. “I am Pakistani” names the nationality. Both are complete sentences.

Two mistakes worth stopping early

Not: I is from Karachi.
Use: I am from Karachi.
Why: The subject I always takes am in the present form of be.
Not: Your from Islamabad.
Use: You’re from Islamabad.
Why: You’re means you are. Your belongs before a noun.
