2021-11-02 13:30:20 IF I WAS or IF I WERE

"I were" is called the subjunctive mood, and is used when you're are talking about something that isn't true or when you wish something was true.

If I were rich, I would buy you a car = I’m not rich in real life

"I was" is for things that could have happened in the past or now.

If I was wrong, I am sorry = I said something and I might have been wrong.

When you spill the beans, you give away private information. If somebody warns you not to spill the beans, it means they don't want you to tell anyone a secret.

Spill the beans, old man! — Homer wants to know what his dad keeps in secret.
