Hi Guys and Girls,

I need someone with a better understanding of the English language to help me here...

I am there.

Is the above sentence possible? "Am" is a present tense verb. Present tense implies now. So I can't be there, because I am here. As a matter of fact, I will always be here, no matter where I am.

Next question: There is past tense and present tense. Can you have future tense?

Over to you (plural)...

I can help you mate,
firstly, the phrase is not ‘I am there’ it’s ‘I is there’, similar to ‘you is there’, and my favourite ‘you honkys is in the wrong hood’
secondly, there is no such phrase as ‘future tense’, it’s called ‘a hangover’
