Hi,
I found in a book this expression "I are going to rebel". When is it correct to say " I are"?
And what that means?
Thanks.
Cate

Hello Cate,

It is not grammatically correct to say "I are", and that is exactly why the author wrote it that way. The author humorously illustrated his (or her) rebellion simply by using wrong grammar. In other words, that sentence illustrates a rebellion against the rules of grammar. The author intended the sentence to be funny.
