i were informed vs i was informed

"I" is singular, so use the singular form of the verb. "I was informed" is correct.

This phrase is not correct. Don't use it.

"i were informed"

This phrase uses the wrong form of the verb. Use "was" with the pronoun "I."
  • "I wish I were informed about the accident the other day." = "I wish I were knowledgeable about the accident which happened the other day."
  • Nov 15, 2011 ... They don't even bear any difference. The same would apply to: I and my wife were informed that ... versus. My wife and I were informed that .

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • I was informed

This phrase is correct.

"i was informed"

"I was informed" should only be used in limited situations. The phrase can be unclear because it leaves out who or what did the informing.

Use "I was informed" only when you don't want to reveal who did the informing, can't reveal who did the informing, or don't know who did the informing.

In most situations, use "[Informer] told me..." instead.

Some examples from our editors:

  • I was informed that you have been shouting at clients when I'm out of the office. This behavior needs to stop.
  • You told me you were working late, but I was informed that you were enjoying a romantic dinner with a stranger. I want a divorce!
