@DunningKruger my question about I were so it's depending on conditional statement

Correctly spoken, I was means a former state of mind or being. I was happy,i was injured . For were ,that means two or more people. We were at the park yesterday, we were sad when our soccer team lost

it's subject/verb plurality agreement. singular form is was (I, he, it, a fish), plural form is were (we, they, all fish)

You'd say 'were' in a hypothetical situation, to differentiate between it and a literal one. For instance, "If I were able to levitate, I'd never need a parachute." It's not totally wrong to say "was" but "were" in this context is better. And yes I'm a native English speaker.
