The word ‘am’ is like a magic glue that connects who you are with what you’re doing or how you feel. Imagine you are holding a balloon, and the string of the balloon is the word ‘am’. It keeps the balloon, which is you, attached to the ground, which is your action or feeling. When you say ‘I am happy’, ‘am’ is the string connecting you to happiness.
Another way to think of ‘am’ is like a bridge. It helps you cross from the land of ‘I’ to the land of what you’re doing or feeling. Just like a bridge helps cars get from one side of a river to the other, ‘am’ helps you say things like ‘I am playing’ or ‘I am tired’. Without ‘am’, your sentence would be like a car stuck on one side of the river, not knowing how to get across.
‘Am’ is also like a superhero’s cape. It gives power to your words, helping you express what’s happening right now. When you say ‘I am excited’, ‘am’ swoops in like a cape, making your excitement shine through your words.
