How to Use AIN'T (And SHOULD YOU use it?)

You’ve probably heard people say that using “ain’t” is bad grammar, and you might be wondering whether or not you should use it. This video explains when and how we use "ain’t," how it sounds when we use "ain’t," and whether or not you should use "ain’t."

The word ain't has a fascinating etymology that reflects its evolution over time. While commonly considered nonstandard or informal English, its origins can be traced back to various dialects and linguistic influences.

I heard this for first time in a Bon Jovi's song. And now I understand its use.
Thank you teacher Mike

[@venus-qw3fw]

[@IrenaPawlowska-yw5ur]

Thank You, Mike, for an interesting lesson on topic I don't even think of some time throughout the years. As I remember, I met this expressions, but rather rarely, in the lyrics of songs. I can't comment further before I watch Your video another time! 😀☺️

I ain't going to market. I am not going to market .Big thank you teacher Mike.

[@Sofi-u1o]

This is the first time I know this information. Thank you, Teacher Mike. A small word with a background is really valuable. Here comes the importance of learning the culture of the people whose language you want to learn. Do you agree with me?

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

I agree. It's never enough to simply understand the basic meaning of a word without understanding how it's used and how using it makes you appear to other people.

[@evelynquinonez1667]

Your haircut looks great, Mike.😊😊

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Thanks, Evelyn! I wanted to cut it a tiny bit shorter, but my barber wouldn't let me.

[@evelynquinonez1667]

He has done exceptionally great.😁😁
