about english ..if i was/were?

2009-01-06 11:19 pm
想問下英文文法

如果講緊無法發生既事,我知係用was/were

但係如果subject 係我,用was or were先正確呢?

eg 1. if i was /were a bird, i would like to travel around the world in the air.

係用was 定were 呢?

eg.2 , if he was /were a bird, he would like to travel around the world in the air.

呢句又用was 定were 先arm呢?

thx

✔ 最佳答案

若果說到現在或未來不可能發生的事,我們會寫成
if+過去式動詞+would,如:

If he were king, he would kill me.
留意,在正式用法裏,不論是I, she, he, it之後都要用were
但在不正式用法裏,用was也是可以,所以,你的答案,當然最好是用were
更詳細的資料,可參考

希望幫到你!

1. If I were a bird, I would like to travel around the wolrd in the air.
2. If he were a bird, he would like to travel around the world in the air.

For anthing that's an assumption, use "were."

係用was 定were 呢?

eg.2 , If he was /were a bird, he would like to travel around the world in the air.
He/she/it/they/we/you/I + WERE ( British English)
He/she/it//I + WAS ( American English)
They/we/you + were

These are called " conditional sentences" in English grammar.

Eg2, 很明顯是用was,因為he是single.
eg1,我覺得是was,因為I也是single,一般只有you先用were
