Am or Are?

Tonight, mother simply wanted to know how far Ethan knows English grammar.
So mother played a game with him. Mother asked him to choose between the two questions and tell mother which one is the correct answer.
i) I am a boy or I are a boy?
ii) You are a girl or you am a girl?

He had given it a thought for a while and then he answered correctly. Why mother wants to know this is because we seldom talk to him in English. Now his Chinese is more fluent than his English. However at least now mother knows that he knows some of the pattern of the sentences in English.
