IF I WERE
In the phrase "If I were" , were is the subjunctive form of the verb
be. It is used in hypothetical or imaginary situations to say what you
would do if they were true, or to give someone advice about what
you’d do if you were in their place.
 If I were you, I'd probably go. / I'd take the money if I were you.
 If I were in charge, I'd do things differently.
Technically speaking is incorrect when used to talk
about unreal situations, at least in formal speech and writing.
However, it is quite common to hear native speakers use it.
STANDARD ENGLISH NON-STANDARD FORM
 If I were you , I wouldn’t care.  If I was you , I wouldn’t care.
 If I were in charge, I'd do things
differently.
 If I was in charge, I'd do things
differently.
IF I WAS
used to express sth that was true when or if sth else happened
 If I was late for class, I got into trouble.
used to express some uncertainty about the past.
 I apologize if I wasn’t clear.
 If I was rude to you, I’m sorry.
(things that actuallyhappened in the past).
“If I was” is correct when used for past situations.
