Question

if i were a rich man i would have helped him (begin: were)

Answer 1

Answer :

The given sentence 'If i were a rich man i would have helped him.' can be rewritten beginning with the word 'were' in the following manner :

Were I a rich man, I would have helped him.

'Were' serves a specific role in conditional clauses. In conditional clauses, 'were' is used to refer to hypothetical situations that do not exist or events that are not very likely to happen.

The given sentence means that I am not rich. However, if there was the condition that I was rich then I would have surely helped him.

Answer 2

were I am a rich man I would have helped him
