] | "I am come” is archaic, and is not considered to be a grammatically correct sentence based on the rules of modern English. No one would ever talk like that. That's something you would find only if you dug old English works of literature. The correct form in this case is: "I have come." | Sentence B sounds odd because it's incorrect. **Come** is a verb. You can say:
