Read the following line from the song “If I Were a Boy” by Beyoncé:
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it '
Cause they'd stick up for me
According to English grammar rules, the use of “were” instead of “was” in this sentence is explained by:
A
“Were” is used in informal speech as a stylistic variation of “was”, without grammatical justification.
B
“Was” should be used because “I” is a singular subject and follows the rule of subject-verb agreement.
C
“Were” is used as the plural form of the verb “to be” and is incorrect when referring to a singular subject like “I”.
D
“Were” is the correct form in the subjunctive mood, used to express hypothetical or unreal situations, regardless of the subject.
