Possible Duplicate:
“If I was” or “If I were”. Which is more common, and which is correct?
Hi,
I have seen different usage of the phrase 'If..was' and 'If..were'. But I find it difficult to understand when to use which.
e.g. If I were the President of the United State, I would get the hell out of Iraq.
This looks correct. Can I use 'If I was' here?
Is there a rule?
