## "Would be" Equative

This is used to presume something about the past, to talk about something being something habitually/repeatedly in past, or to talk about the outcomes of hypothetical conditions.
|

This is used to:
|

- say A was B habitually/repeatedly in past
|

- to presume or guess about A being B in the past

- or to talk about the outcome of hypothetical conditions

## Past Subjunctive

This is used to talk about something being hypothetically something, or to wish that something were something. ("If I was ...", "If only I was ..."). It is also used for prayers and blessings in some dialects.
|
||||
This is used to talk about:
|
||||
|
||||
- If A were hypothetically B but it isn't
|
||||
- also if A *had been* hypothetically B, but it isn't
|

- If you wish A were B

- If A should have been B

- In prayers and blessings (in some dialects)
