Question If it is so then?

Yeah, you are right Robert, it was "ain't". But i want to know that if "ain't" is the contraction of " are not", becouse in the "OXFORD ADVANCE LEARNER'S DICTIONARY" it is " aren't".
I also need to know that if "shop" is verb, why it is usually used without the prepostion "to" when it comes after "go". For instance, I will go shopping.
Don't u think it is grammatically incorrect? Rather it should be" i will go to shop"
There are a few sentences those i am a bit nervouse about using .So please correct them.
It's a long since i met her.
I didn't meet her a long.
I did not meet her for a long time.
I never saw such a wonderfull friend like you.
I never have such a wonderful friend like u ever before.
you are the truest friend of mine.
Thanks.

AIN'T is an incorrect contraction of am not, are not, is not, have not and has not.

A GERUND is a VERB working as a NOUN. GERUNDs usually end with ...ING.

To look is a verb. It is the Infinitive form of the verb, To Look.

The verb To Look also has a gerund form, looking. Looking is a noun. You can not touch it, taste it or see it, but it is a 'thing,' a noun.

Subject - Verb - Noun object
I like dogs.
I like food.
I like looking.
I like looking at girls.

So,
I like shopping is correct... Subject I, verb like, object/gerund/noun shopping.

Your sentence is also correct.

I will go to shop. I will go to look. I will go to eat.

It's a long since i met her.
It's been a long since since I met her.

I didn't meet her a long.
I didn't meet her a long time ago (I met her yesterday) OR
I didn't meet her for long (She and I only spoke two minutes.)

I never saw such a wonderfull friend like you.
I never saw (or HAD) such a wonderful friend like you.

I never have such a wonderful friend like u ever before.
I have never had such a wonderful firend like you ever before.

you are the truest friend of mine.
You are my best friend
