    Writer's Note

    What is the difference between "were" and "was"?

    「were」和「was」有什麼不同？

    "Were" and "was" are both past tense versions of the verb to be. But "were" is usually used in relation to second person singular and plural pronouns such as "you", "your", "yours". And a handful of times it could be used with first and third person plural pronouns such as "we", "they".

    「Were」和「was」都是動詞to be的過去式。但「were」通常用於第二人稱單數和複數代名詞，例如「you」、「your」、「yours」。而有時候，它也可以用於第一人稱和第三人稱複數代名詞，例如「we」、「they」。

    We use "was", on the other hand, when we’re using the first person singular pronoun or when using the third person singular such as "he" or "she".

    我們在使用第一人稱單數代名詞時，或者使用像「he」或「she」這樣的第三人稱單數時，會使用「was」。

    For example, you wouldn’t say, "You was going to the gym". You would say, "You were going to the gym".

    例如，你不會說「You was going to the gym」。你應該說「You were going to the gym」。

    But you would say, "I was going to the gym" rather than "I were going to the gym."

    但你會說「I was going to the gym」，而不是「I were going to the gym」。

    In a nutshell, I wish I were = grammatically correct

    總而言之，I wish I were = 文法正確
