Well Je suis is the verb Être (to be) and J'ai is the verb Avoir (to have). So you would just need to use the one that makes the most sense. Does it make more sense saying I am (Je suis), or I have (J'ai) in the situation. Then to make sure you can always use a good grammar checking program. J'ai is more popular, but for ones like mourir you would not say J'ai mort (I have dead) but Je suis mort (I am dead). On that note would you ever say 'I have died' in French?
