The answer is “That’s right, but we don’t use that contraction anymore, so just use aren’t” Easy cheesy.
I think you wouldn’t use the contracted form, but rather, “Am I not?”
Maybe that’s how “ain’t” came into being.
Kids I knew in the 70s fresh from Edinborough used amn’t as a colloquial contraction.
God has a pretentious Way for Anne.
My kids use amn’t all the time. I know that I ought to “correct” them, but I just can’t bring myself to do so. It is just so sweet, and . . . well, it works for me.
As it suits every smart aleck, Cynthia compensates her ignorance by asking off-the-cuff questions.
