Basic English Grammar - "Was" and "Were"

www.engvid.com When to use WAS and when to use WERE. Learn about the past tense of TO BE -- the most important verb in English! I talk about normal sentences, negatives, and questions. I cover the grammar, but also the correct pronunciation.
After you've watched the lesson, test yourself at www.engvid.com/was-were/#quiz!

Another things I know, correct me if I'm wrong:
- you can only say "if I were you" but you can't say "if I was you"
- you can change was into were if you are writing something more formal (this one I'm not sure, pls correct me)

In conditionals we should use - "If I were you" in most cases

[@mulyadi425]

I am also waiting

[@karambhatti1880]

'i were ' just use only when we have any desire ,any wish. For example if I were rich I would buy a car

[@josef.navarro8421]

it's only when we desire or a supposition like: if I were rich.... if I were you.... If I were with you.....
