If I were you... - English Grammar Lesson

Do you say.. If I WERE you... or If I WAS you? - If I were you, I wouldn’t eat that. - If I was you, I wouldn’t eat that. Which is correct? If I WERE you ... is correct. But why? We explain how we use IF I WERE YOU for hypothetical situations or when you put yourself in someone else’s position when giving them advice. Also we look at the situations where IF I WAS YOU is in fact correct. We show you the difference with TO BE in the Simple Past Tense and the Subjunctive Mood. Of course we have included example sentences and also show you how to change the order of the sentence.
