The Simple Present of the verb to be is conjugated as follows. In spoken English, contractions are often used.
Without contractions With contractions
I am I'm
you are you're
he is he's
she is she's
it is it's
we are we're
they are they're
In written English, an apostrophe: ' is used in a contraction, to indicate that one or more letters have been omitted
This is a simple rule, but if you don't use the contractions, you will not sound like you know what you're taling about. I found this to be true when I lived in The Philippines.
