My English teacher, Mrs. Know-It-all, says,"April, ' Ain't ' isn't a word,"

I always say "It is a word Ma'am, its just improper"
But she says, anyway,"April, Ain't isn't a word at all,"

who can help prove her wrong??

Ain't is a word. It's a contraction for am not, is not, are not, has not, and have not. In 1706, it was orginally considered a contraction of am not. It wasn't even first used in America but in the early 19th of the Cockney dialect in London, the United Kingdom.

Hope this helps, HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Superbowl Weekend! :-)

Ain’t is in fact a word. Tell her to look it up in the marium Webster dictionary. It’s a contraction for; am not, are not, or is not.
