I looked in the dictionary to look up the word, "am" I found that it refered to the word, "be." If a sentence requires a subject and a verb, then can one simply state, "I be"?

Yes. Both words are of one form= B
In this vocabulary you can rotate similar words.
Long ago, during Shaksspeare's time. Am was the uncommon word, and "be" was one of the more widely used ones. As time ages, so does vocabulary styles.

It could be incorrect though, if used in a different way.
Example:

1. "I can be a dog." In this sentance you can not shift, Since "be" is near a, a different form of secondary word phrasing.

2. "I am a woman." In this sentance you can change "am" to "be".

*The ability of being abil to shift words depends if it is in the subject or predicate of sentance.

Your answer was very interesting, particularly reference to Shakespeare. Thumbs up from me.

I am a member of the vigilante spelling police. Please learn "able" and "sentence".
