Read the following line from the song “If I Were a Boy” by Beyoncé:

If I were a boy

Even just for a day

I'd roll out of bed in the morning

And throw on what I wanted then go

Drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls

I'd kick it with who I wanted

And I'd never get confronted for it '

Cause they'd stick up for me

According to English grammar rules, the use of “were” instead of “was” in this sentence is explained by:

Alternativa A:
“Were” is used in informal speech as a stylistic variation of “was”, without grammatical justification.
Alternativa B:
“Was” should be used because “I” is a singular subject and follows the rule of subject-verb agreement.
Alternativa C:
“Were” is used as the plural form of the verb “to be” and is incorrect when referring to a singular subject like “I”.
Alternativa D:
“Were” is the correct form in the subjunctive mood, used to express hypothetical or unreal situations, regardless of the subject.
