      If I WERE or IF I WAS?

      The other day someone asked – whether it is appropriate to use was after IF .

      Yes both are possible . The only point you need to remember – i.e SITUATION.

      Situation – 1

      We use “ If I were…….” In imaginary situations.

      Say for example- 1)  If I were rich , I would buy a big car. ( It means I am not rich . I am imagining being rich.)

      2) If I were there, I would have taught him a lesson. (This indicates an imaginary situation of Past. Since in this main clause would have+ verb 3 is used. This is an example of mixed conditional.)

      Situation-2

      We use “ If I was …” for a Past situation that was really possible.

      For example- If I was angry, why didn’t you placate me?

      I apologize if I was rude.

      We hope now logic is clear.
