However, there is another situation where WERE seems not to be past tense. It also appears in a secondary mood

Use it to provide advice on what you do in the same situation as others. Please imagine your position and situation, your behavior, how to react.

It is an informal (and grammatically incorrect) English, but if I do, it might ask someone to say ... This usage is not very good, please avoid it.

We use WERE instead of WAS because that sentence is in a subjective mood for a virtual situation. This is a condition contrary to facts and reality (the truth is that you are not)

Without debt, I quit my job. (But vice versa is true, I am in debt so I can not quit my job)

In informal English, there are people who say, "If I ... He is ... ... etc. I do not think this usage is very good, but unfortunately it is very common, especially on the Internet (and social media sites).

Yes, this sentence is not subjective, it is instructional. Please note that the suggestive emotion of using IF is not common. Let's compare:

If I am ill, she will give me a very bad medicine. (Instruction = state facts or ask questions - in this case IF can be replaced with WHENEVER)

If I am ill, I will not be here. (Virtual tone = hypothesis - I am not sick, but I imagine the situation of the hypothesis)

why? Because we are talking about my assumption as your boyfriend. This is not true, this is the situation I imagined, so here we need to use the virtual tone.

If you think that this grammar guide will be useful for the second condition of English, please let other people know.

John! You are the boy that I kissed first. You are 18 years old, I am 14 years old, you are very handsome, I am fat still.

I am in front of sex, before sorrow, before me. I do not know how it looks. As you say, I do not look so bad, I will be fascinated. I do not have anything; I am not bad. We met three times romantically, we kissed you for the first time, we lowered my clothes and put my mouth in my mouth. There is not such a shocking thing. I tried to tell my best friend that these words would not come out. On our third and last days, you tried to reach my underwear.

Please call me and tell me that you are in New York. I asked what you are doing, you told you that you are visiting a friend. If it is my behavior, we can intercourse, I ask you what the intercourse is, you say that you laugh a lot and are not that sensitive. I told you to see me on the tattooed lower east side. When you walked in the middle and looked at it with my ribs, you shook your head and said, "Baby, you are too painful, your breasts touch your shirt, The kiss is getting late and late, and we breathe very quickly, as we wake up, it's already late.

You call me and say that you are getting a payday loan and I come to you and tell you all the cash you handled during that week. A month ago, I entered the street of the church, you came to me and made a mushroom and massaged my neck. I can not remember if we loved you, but I remember you being very happy there. I am very grateful, I can cry, I said to you, if you need me, I will always be with you. You said I am very sweet.
