With such limited character-usage, I can't exactly clarify what I'm asking in just the title.
This is what I mean:
"I wish I were you."
"I was there."
"Was" and "were" were both used after "I." Both are correct. "I" is not plural, and because of that, "was" should have been used instead of "were..." But in the first quote's case, "were" was used because "I" can't be "you," or it's impossible for me to be you. So if it WAS possible for me to be you, the correct word to use would be "was."
Is that right?
Please correct me if I'm wrong with an explanation of why I am.
