Como se diz "se essa mochila fosse maior" em inglês?

Question

É "if this backpack was bigger" or "if this backpack were bigger"?

Answer 1

Na linguagem formal, segunda opção. É que, quando está no passado subjuntivo (como no caso, em que se usa "if"), se usa "were" para todas as pessoas. Logo:

I was / If I were
You were / If you were
He was / If he were
She was / If she were
It was / If it were
We were / If we were
You were / If you were
They were / If they were

Porém, na língua falada, na língua viva das ruas, as pessoas costumam dizer "was" mesmo. Então, em uma redação, siga a norma culta e escreva "were", mas, em um diálogo com amigos, despreocupe-se e escolha o que soar mais natural.

Answer 2

Caros colegas..

Apesar de "it" estar na 3a pessoa do singular... deveria ser

"it was"

Entretanto, para expressões de "if causes" (SE algo ocorresse.. ou SE essa mochila fosse maior)...

O mais certo é utlizar o verbo "were". Desta forma:

"If this backpack were bigger"..

apesar de que "if this backpack was bigger" não está totalmente errada..

Answer 3

If this backpack was bigger, porque mochila e "it" e conjugar o verbo passado de TO BE, IT WAS.
I was
She was
He was
It was
We were
They were

Answer 4

Se é uma mochila é no singular...
