If I was or If I were?

by
A common question is whether ‘If I was …’ or ‘If I were …’ is correct. 


The answer is that they are both correct, but in different contexts. 


If I were = Imaginary


If I were is used to express an imaginary situation in the present.


If I were you, I would take a vacation.
I would give the test again if I were the teacher. 


If I was = when I was


If I was is used to express something that was true when or if something else happened.


If I was late for class, I got into trouble.I had to do extra homework, If I was absent.
