Find the incorrect part in the given sentence. "If I was you, I wouldn't do this."
was you
The sentence asks us to locate the grammatically incorrect segment in a conditional statement expressing a hypothetical or unreal situation.
The construction "If I ... you" imagines a situation that is contrary to fact, because the speaker is not, and cannot be, the other person.
For such unreal or hypothetical conditions, English uses the subjunctive mood, in which the verb becomes 'were' for every subject, not 'was'.
Therefore the standard, grammatically correct form is "If I were you, I wouldn't do this," a fixed expression used to offer advice.
The segment 'was you' uses the ordinary past indicative 'was', which does not fit an unreal condition, so this is the faulty part.
The remaining parts, 'If I', 'I wouldn't' and 'do this', are all correctly formed and grammatically appropriate to the sentence.
Hence the incorrect part of the sentence is was you.
