Thank you so much for clarifying my confusion 😕 ❤️

[leticiaoliveira]

Eu entendo o seu inglês. É tão limpo. Não sei explicar. Só sei que meus ouvidos entendem essa menina. ❤ Thanks girl.

„If I were…” is a subjunctive mood used mostly in second conditional which stands for hypothetical situation whereas „If I was…” is used for Past actions and it’s not related to second conditional at all. Natives, especially in the UK, are using less and less subjunctive mood „If I were…” in informal coversations. However, it’s not gramatically correct to use „If I was…” in second conditional instead of subjunctive mood version.

This is what I struggled when I was in high school. Thanks a lot.

[milkyro]

you are very good teacher because it is not boring❤️❤️😊

[paulramrattan]

Thanks, I have just learnt the proper usage of: was / were

[paulomonteiro]

Now I understood this in English, because I don't knew to difference that. I'm learning English, I speak Portuguese, thank for your explanations

[BaMaSE_]

Can you please upload a video with you speaking your native language if it was possible 💙

[tintin-rkyf]

We use Were and Was after If and Wish. Both are correct.

[gabrielescobar]

If I were more constant with my English learning, I'd understand what you are saying 🥲

[GogoanJerry-icgq]

please teach about how to use "i wish i could" and when to use it thank you in advance

[Bint_hawa._]

I was really confused about this ... Thanks for explaining

[theamazingworld]

As a native speaker, i can confirm that, if i were' is used much more commonly than, if i was'. It's true

[ernestorevollar]

Thank you so much for your beautiful explanation Veronika ❤. I won't get confused anymore thanks to you.

[SukhmanK]

Thank you so much dear for this great explanation I was really looking for it💜

[islamicculture]

Love u

I remembered the song "If I was by Midge Ure". Speaks about imaginary situations 🤔💗

[andresfelipelopezavila]

we also use "I were" in the subjunctive tenses.

[washikaebrat]

So now it makes sense-


“If I was your boyfriend, never let you go”

[ishwaribirajdar]

What we should use like
I shall or I will
