'Ain't'? It's not common in spoken English, it means 'isn't' or 'aren't' or 'am not' . You could use it like : I ain't going to the pool this afternoon.

It's the slang form of "isn't" or "aren't" or "am not." It's used more than it should be, since it isn't proper English. An example would be "She ain't as nice as she used to be." Or, "I ain't going over to her house today." Unless you're from Appalachia, I recommend you not use it at all.

I highly recommend that you DO NOT use it at all! EVER!
Its not overly common but people from certain parts of the UK use it.
For example: I ain't going shopping
Means: I'm not going shopping

another example: I ain't never liked her
Means: I have never liked her

Its quite versatile but it sounds horrible!!

"Ain't" means 'is not'. It's slang.
It's not common in spoken language, and you shouldn't use it!
It would be used like : "I ain't going to go to school today."

Ain't means "am not". "I ain't going" means "I am not going".
It is widely disapproved as nonstandard English. It is more common in the habitual speech of the less educated.

Don't say ain't, because ain't ain't a word.
