What Language do you speak?

If I were... The main word you want to be focusing on is the "WERE"
were can used to mean a multiple of things like:

To occupy a specified position
To remain in a certain state or situation
To equal in identity
To have a specified significance
To belong to a specified class or group
To have or show a specified quality or characteristic

Example: "If I were a bird, then I could fly."

The subject is comparing itself to that of another object; 'were' could possibly mean the same thing as "was the same as" or "exactly as". As for the "If I" portion: The subject is simply announcing themselves as the first object. As you would in:

"If she was/were..."
"If they were..."
"If he was/were..."

LOL I'm an english teacher!!!!
