I was, he was, she was, it was.
You were, they were, we were.

 

[Juve89]

I was, he was, she was, it was.
You were, they were, we were.

Ok, thanks

 

[Snoop]

I was, he was, she was, it was.
You were, they were, we were.

what about "IF I were you" ""I wish I were .."

 

[flieeeekke]

you can say "i wish i was" so not sure about that one.

 

[3pac]

what about "IF I were you" ""I wish I were .."

that's subjunctive i think


(never actually studied tense's and such in english, but that's actually what spanish has taught me about my own language

 

[3pac]

you can say "i wish i was" so not sure about that one.

i think that's not correct english actually (not sure though)

 

[WΏΏdy?]

*confused*

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I was, he was, she was, it was.
You were, they were, we were.

yea, was is used in singular situations, where as were is used in plural situations.

 

[ReBeL]

No, I "were" is used when the whole situation is impossible...

For example: If I were you, I'll play better...

How the hell will I be you??

That's it in the easyest way of explanation...

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Yea, but that is 2nd person.

I was talking about 1st person.

 

[ReBeL]

Yea, but that is 2nd person.

I was talking about 1st person.

But "you" isn't plural, but "were" is coming after it...

Anyway, I think I understood what you mean, mate...

 

[3pac]

it's a different tense altogether, so that doesn't apply

I was
you was

she was
they was
