We use contractions to speak more naturally and fluidly in English. For example, instead of saying "I am," we say "I'm." Contractions help us to express ourselves quickly and sound more like native speakers. In the context of the verb "to be," using contractions makes conversations smoother and less formal, which is often preferred in everyday speech.
