Among other differences, I'm is informal, and it's more common in speech than writing regardless of formality. Plus "I am" can stand alone as a two-word reply to a question (from someone asking whether you're a native speaker or not, for example). But you definitely can't simply reply "I'm" in such a context. –

2018年7月4日 · I'm unsure (sorry, I'm not really a gambler) but there may be other similar gambling expressions which mean that you wish to leave the game and for your winnings to be counted. In your specific quote a man and a woman are making an arrangement to go out to a bistro/restaurant.

"I'm in" is an alternate form of "count me in" which means "include me". This is similar to the poker phrase "deal me in", but I don't know which came first or if one was derived from the other. Similarly, "I'm out" is an alternate form of "count me out" which means "exclude me".

2013年10月10日 · Mr. Witman was quite close. However, those who've studied AAVE specifically (the dialect used in the pop lyrics he is referring to) will tell you that there is an actual tense difference between "I'm a-", "I'm a-gonna" (probably what he meant by "I'm gonna"), and "I gonna". See the nice handy table on the AAVE wiki page. This is an important ...

2017年12月1日 · In person in a small group, you'd say "Hi! I'm James!" and probably extend your hand to shake. If you are in front a of a room of strangers introducing yourself, you might be more formal, with "My name is James". However, if you're joining a …

"I'm looking forward to" means I'm doing it right now, this very instance, like in Elendil's example of being on the phone with a friend; I disagree that it's about formal vs non-formal, it's due to being on the phone with that friend in that moment, so of course you'd be looking forward to meeting said friend at that very moment.

2016年7月2日 · As it happens, just a few weeks ago I literally replied "I'm in!" to a party invitation from our HR manager, but it's a small company at which I've been working for thirteen years. My colleagues are also my friends. I wouldn't recommend responding in that manner to a senior manager who you don't know socially, because it is medium informal.

I'm gonna be fine. This should definitely not be used in formal writing, and if you're learning the language it's best to clearly enunciate your words, but as you might hear this from a native speaker I thought it was worth mentioning.

I've never heard (or seen) "innatural"; "unnatural" is what I would expect. Webster's 3rd Unabridged shows fewer than four columns of "in-n*" words, and fewer than five of those words are negative, "innumerable" being the most familiar.
