7/9

Hardest class I took in college was composition I & II. The instructor was super strict. I aced the classes but my papers would still come back looking like a bloody chicken walked over them. Luckily, they had less marks then the rest of his classes.

 

[AreaCode707]

7/9 And I'm a bloody English major to boot. I missed the bad/badly question and the band one.

[Ohtwell:] "I missed that one too. Were doesn't sound right."[/i]

Think of it this way: "if" is often used to signal a hypothetical situation. Hypothetical situations are spoken of not as if they were occurring at the present, but as if they had occurred. So, "were" is the past subjunctive and permits us to use it in such context. So, when next you're conjecturing, do not say, "if I was you" or "if I is you"; instead say, "if I were you".

If this helps: Subjunctive. Hope that helps!
