    "As if it was."

    Take "it" out of context and conjugate the verb "to be." You would say (in past tense) he/she/it was, not he/she/it were. You only use "were" after you, they, or we.

    Edit due to Kim's comment: You're absolutely right. Sorry I didn't mention that.

    • "As if it were" is the subjunctive form, not "as if ti was"
