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.
