Obs.: Embora a forma do verbo to be para o sujeito I seja was, nas condicionais é comum usarmos a forma were. Além disso, o verbo auxiliar would é frequentemente usado para indicar que algo ocorreria no passado dependente de outra ação. Por fim, observe que nas formas negativas do Past simple, devemos sempre usar o verbo auxiliar did junto com a partícula de negação not.
