虚拟语气中was和were的选择

Would it possible if you can make a dragon for me?  I would like it if you could. I would keep it in my special green grass area where there are lots of space. I would feed it raw fish and put a collar on it. If it was/were hurt, I would bandage it.


这里要用虚拟语气吗,选择 was 还是 were 呢?

if从句表示与现在或将来事实相反的假设时,不分人称一律用were,这是正式语体。但在非正式语体,当主语为单数一、三人称时,可以用was而不用were. 此时意义完全相同,只是语体有差异。

不过,if I were you, 和as it were这二个结构中的were不可以用was替换。

网友的句子显然是非正式语体,如果用were,虽然语法没有错误,但不太符合语境。所以用was是更为恰当的。
