Hello, Cartouche.
(1) I respectfully suggest that you use
If I / he/ she / it were
whenever you speak about something that is
not true:
If I were handsome (I'm not), I would have many girlfriends.
If Tom were a teacher (He's actually a mechanic), he would be very popular because he is very patient and kind.
If today were Sunday (It's actually Tuesday), I would go to church.

(2) I respectfully suggest that you use
If I/ he/ she/ it was
whenever you are talking about something that
possibly happened in
the past.
Joe: Why are you angry with me?
Martha: Because you were rude to me
yesterday.
Joe: Really? Well,
if I was rude to you
yesterday (it is possible
because sometimes I am rude to people without knowing it), I wish to
apologize today.

Mona: Was Ralph at
yesterday's party?
Tony: Yes, he was.
Mona: Well,
if he was there, I certainly did not see him. (It is possible
that
Ralph attended the party, but there were so many people there that
Mona never saw him.)
Thank you
