Got confused!
As a basic grammar rule we say 'He was ....', but I came across sentences in an English novel saying 'He lowered his voice as if he were disclosing a confidential matter'.
In another similar sentence 'as if I were looking at them'
Can someone explain where should we make the difference in was and were?
Views welcome
Thanks
