Can anyone answer this definitively?
A friend and I are having a disagreement about subject/verb agreement and the subjunctive case...
The sentence in question is this:
"It would have been awesome if we came in here and it were apparent from your comments that you were a genius."
So. My problem was with "it were", but after doing some reading, I'm just confused.
What's correct?
Are both "it were" and "it was" correct in this case, with "it were" being more correct?
Or is one or the other simply wrong?
