exRangerJanuary 2019 Better: Am I not a bit "long in the tooth" to be starting an undergraduate level education?" We don't use "are" w/ "I", which is precisely why I amended your original sentence to start with "Am I not a....". re: "tag questions": "am I not" is correct. "Aren't I...", while in poular use in vernacular (American and UK) English, is grammatically incorrect. Butthat doesn't stop most Americans (and British) so-called "native English" users/speakers from misusing their language. Cold, harsh reality my English-as-a-second-language learnng friends: be careful in the so-called "native English" users/speakers you from whom you choose to "learn" our language. |
NasieJanuary 2019 Thanks a lot for your reply!
WeylinOctober 2019 "Aren't I" is commonly used and very acceptable in informal language, but in formal letters and academic papers you should use "Am I not". |
