Note: Many people use if I was and if I were interchangeably to describe a hypothetical situation. The
confusion occurs because when writing in the past tense, I was is correct while I were is incorrect.
However, when writing about non-realistic or hypothetical situations (subjunctive mood), if I were is the
only correct choice.
