One askedWhen someone asks whether you hadhave completed a task e.g. shopping, dinner.

  What should be your answer  ?

I am done.

or

I have done.

To me, the former sentence's formation  , Sub + VBe+ Past Participle  , fallsfalls to passive voice. Therefore, it has a totally different meaning from I have done Sub + Predicate (verb intransitive  ).

Addendum  :

According to Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary 3rd Eded. The, the verb Dodo is an intreansitiveintransitive verb in the meaning of complete/finish.

In the sentence  , same formation as I am done:

I am beautiful.

I am beautiful.

The verb am am ( ofof VBe  ) linklinks the adj beautifulbeautiful to the subject of the sentence II. Therefore I I, the subject of the sentence  , is beautiful ( another word Satein other words, state of Being being).

Then in the senetncesentence :

I am done.

I am done.

The subject  , I I, is linked to Adj Donethe adjective done. So the subject's state of being is Done done, antoher word Deadin other words dead?
