I have been working with a poetry class and have found myself trying to figure out if the usage of "I AM" within a sentence is correct when one is denoting ones self with in a sentence. Such as, “I am trying to understand the connotations of this particular usage of the English language.”

If I were to check my computers grammar checker it says that it is wrong, yet if I speak with different people they inform me that it is correct.

So here is my question, is it a correct usage of the English language to say “I am”?
