I am / you are: ask and check details
Use I am and you are. Put am or are before the person in a question: Are you Linh? Answer Yes, I am or No, I am not. Do not use Yes, I’m as a complete short answer. Ask What is your first name? or What is your email address? What’s is a short form of What is. If something is unclear, say Please say it again or Please speak slowly. Spell with English letter names. The example.com addresses are only for practice; you do not need to send an email.
- I am Linh.
- Are you Linh?
- Yes, I am.
- What is your family name?
- Please spell your name.
- Please say it again.
Use: I am Linh. · Instead of: I are Linh.
Use am after I.
Use: Yes, I am. · Instead of: Yes, I'm.
Use the full form I am at the end of this short answer.
Letter names A, E and I; short speech groups
A is /eɪ/, E is /iː/ and I is /aɪ/. Practise pairs, then spell a name slowly. A letter name is not always the sound it makes in a word. Pause briefly before at and dot in an email address.
- A, E, I
- L, I, N, H
- Please say it again.
