    I and I'm
    Message from ora1 posted on 19-11-2011 at 23:31:38 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    Could you please explain the difference between I and I'm?
    Like... I hurt my eyes. I'm hurt my eyes.
    Is there any difference?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    I'm = I + am
    The correct sentence is: I hurt my eyes.
    I am happy. = I'm happy.

    Hello,

    "I hurt my eyes" is a preterite, a souvenir from the past.
    "I've hurt my eyes" is an expression of the present consequence of something that happened in the past.It's a present perfect.
    "I am hurt / I'm hurt", without an object, is a passive voice meaning: "I am injured, I am wounded".

    hello;
    I: is a pronoun.
    I'm=i am and am is the present simple of the verb to be.
