Notes
1. In non-standard English, ain't is used as a contraction of am not, are not, is not, have not and has not.
* He ain't going to come. (= He is not going to come.)
* Don't talk to me like that - you ain't my master. (= You are not my master.)
* I ain't got anything to read. (= I have not got anything to read.)
2. Daren't, shan't and usedn't are not often used in American English.
3. Am not is not normally contracted in questions. We use aren't.
* I am late, aren't I? (NOT ... amn't I)
