Should I say I'm born in or I was born in?

Can I say I'm born in Paris in 1900, or should I say I was born in Paris in 1990?

Best Answer

"I was born in Paris in 1990" is the correct statement to use.

"I'm" is a condensed form of "I am" which is present tense, as you are talking about a past event "I was" is used.
