Ain’t is a contraction originally just for “am not”, but can include includes “is not”, “has not”, or “have not” in the common vernacular. In some dialects it is also used incorrectly as a contraction of “do not”, “does not”, and “did not”, as in I ain’t know that. The word is a perennial issue in English usage.

People always say "Ain't is not a real word", but it's been in use for generations. They people who decide what words are real in English should legitimize "ain't" like they did "normalcy". That was never considered a proper word until recently too. 2/7/26
