Ok, now to conjugate it it's like :I am; you are; s/he is; they are.
Now, I find it redundant to use "I am" because "am" does not go along 
with anything else (ie he am, they am, the care am.) So, shouldn't we NOT 
need the I before am???

Oh, God, no!;) Let's not try to recreate the Enflish languages. Some
things just don't have an answer, Jack:) It's best that way! I was an
English major for a short while....very short....and even from taking four
other languages, I can tell you that if you ask a question like that for
any language, you will be told that there is no reason, it just *is*.
 

Anyway, I made this conclusion after 4 years of Spanish, which you don't 
need to add the pronoun before a verb except for clearity.

Nor for French. Or Latin. Don't think it's really needed all the time for
Japanese either.
