When and how can I use Ain't ?
I have seen ''ain't'' only in songs and subtittles. I know that this word is used in a negative way. But I really want to know the structure or the rule I have to follow to use ir, and in what kind of situations can I use it. If someone can give me come little explamples I will be grateful.
Thank you.

Hey! Ain't is used most commonly in the deep south--where I'm from. It is considered wrong/improper grammar, so we only use it with close friends or to prove a point. Sometimes it will slip out, but if you aren't a native of the SOUTHERN part of America, you sound wrong using 'ain't'. You can use it-- but don't expect to be taken seriously.

It is a slang saying. This is not proper English and is used by few English speakers.
It may be used more frequently in "rougher" parts of some big cities and possibly in some parts of the deep south of the USA.
Sorry - I hope I'm not offending anyone, as this is my perception and experience.

Please never use it. It´s a slang saying.

This is a slang saying. It is not proper English. It means "isn't" = is not. It is only really used in some rougher parts of big cities or in some parts of the deep south of the USA.
No offence to any particular group of people - this is just my perception and my experience.
