Ok, this came to me while I was walking to the bus to go to karate 
practice thsi morning.

Ok, in the English language, like in many other languages, there is 
conjugation of verbs. Now, I'm going to use a very simple and everyday 
verb: to be.

Ok, now to conjugate it it's like :I am; you are; s/he is; they are.
Now, I find it redundant to use "I am" because "am" does not go along 
with anything else (ie he am, they am, the care am.) So, shouldn't we NOT 
need the I before am???

Anyway, I made this conclusion after 4 years of Spanish, which you don't 
need to add the pronoun before a verb except for clearity.

Just some thoughts on the English language... Any English majors care to 
answer my question???
