Brittney Griner

“Were” is technically not wrong because it’s a past subjunctive. But neither is “was” wrong. Since Griner actually is in jail and it’s not entirely hypothetical, my statement was more indicative, making “was” the right word because “child” is singular.

Correct. Griner is currently in a Russian jail, which makes your statement a real conditional.

Subjunctive or unreal conditional:
If my child were in a Russian prison...

Real conditional:
If my child was in a Russian prison like Griner...

I think some are splitting hairs on this, but if they do then they needs 😅 to put your thoughts in complete context.

Correct.

Real conditional:
If my child was were in a Russian prison like Griner...

Was is still incorrect.

Since the gay community has us saying “we was” and “they is,” grammar doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Remember Obama parading his parents around.?

Bergdahl's desertion conviction being overturned is wild.
