Question

if i _____ (be) a bird, i would fly. (supply correct form of the verb 'be')

Answer 1

If I were a bird, I would fly.

• In English Grammar, we use 'were' with 'I' when the statement is a hypothetical one.
• The above scenario is an exception, otherwise 'was' is used for singular forms and 'were' is used for plural forms.
• 'Was' and 'were' are the past forms of the root verb 'be'.
