I am hurry

"I am hurry! " Is this sentence correct?

Today I heard this sentence by a Canadian girl in response to someone
who urged her to come quick.

But hurry is a noun or verb, so I am confused. Pls help, thanks!

The sentence "I am hurry!" is incorrect. It should be "I am in a hurry!"

I'm not sure why the speaker used "I am hurry"--it could have been that she being in a rush at the time hadn't time to express 'in a', or it could have been the case that she omitted 'in a', the small words, as a way of making her sentence easier for her listener to understand. Speakers tend to do that when they are speaking with non-native speakers. At any rate, "I am hurry" is certainly not English, let alone Canadian English.

If the girl is a native speaker, it is likely that she said "I am hurrying" and just didn't enunciate the last syllable. :wink:

Excellent point, Mike.

Has anyone told you today that you're great to have around? If not, let me be the first. You're great to have around, Mike. 8)

Well, not today, but I must have said something like that sometime. Mike gives great explanations and provides wonderfully useful examples.

Of course, you are both smarter than I am.
