Generally, you would use was with I, such as in the phrase 'I was at school'. In this case, using 'were' would be wrong. However, there's something called the subjunctive mood, which means that you would use 'were' instead of 'was'. You use the subjunctive when you're talking about a possibility, a desire, or a doubt, and in some other circumstances too. So in the example you gave, 'If I were to go with you' would be correct.
However, the use of the subjunctive is becoming less popular in Modern English, and in spoken English, you're highly unlikely to be corrected for failing to use the subjunctive, and few people would notice. Some people consider not using it to be incorrect in formal written English though.

Is it correct to say think of?
It can be perfectly correct: For example, "I think of that time often". Some grammatical purists believe one should use "about" instead of "of".
Can you use to be or to being which one is correct?
The correct phrase to use depends on the context of the sentence. "To be" is used as an infinitive verb phrase, while "to being" is not grammatically correct in standard English. For example, "I like to be alone" is correct, while "I like to being alone" is not.

What is the worst grammatical error?
One popular favorite lately is using "I" where "me" is correct, for example saying Between you and I, instead of the correct Between you and me. This betrays a failure to understand basics of English grammar. Another is incorrect verb agreement with a singular subject and plural predicate, for example saying One thing we are blankets, in stead of the correct One thing we need is blankets. Also pervasive is the use of "would have" in the protasis of a condition, for example saying If I would have known you were coming... instead of the correct If I had known...

Which one of the following two expressions is correct English 'You he and I' or 'You him and I'?
The correct answer depends on whether the people in question are the subject or the object of the sentence. For the subjective case, use "You, he and I" For the objective case, use "You, him and me" For example: You, he and I took the high road. The burro bit you, him and me. The three best singers are you, he and I. The last example is tricky because in formal English, you use the subjective case for the object (predicate pronoun) of a linking verb (copula) like "is" or "are."

Is it ok to Phrase a sentence ' I can able to.'?
No. One or the other is correct. We use can plus the infinitive without to: I can do that. But we use ablewith the copula verb ( to be, for example) and the infinitive with to. I am able to do that.
Which is correct one and one is two or one and one are two?
The correct wording is "One and one is two."( If you use the unambiguous word "plus", the answer is clear: One plus one is two.) One infers that this is a form of "The sum of one plus one is two." The singular verb form is also used in "One plus one equals two."In this question, the word "and" is not functioning as a conjunction. You can tell the difference by applying a simple test. If it were a conjunction, you would be able to create a compound sentence that means the same thing. In this case, "One is two and one is two." Since that no longer has the same meaning, the word "and" is not a conjunction.There is a case where you would correctly use the plural verb. If you were talking about multiple nouns rather than a numerical problem, then you would have a valid compound subject. For example:"One spoon and one fork are two utensils."This passes the deconstruction test:"One spoon (is) (a) utensil and one fork (is) (a) utensil."

Should you use I or me?
"I" is the correct word to use sometimes and "me" is the correct word to use sometimes.Use "I" when you are referring to yourself and you are the subject of the sentence. For example, "I went to the store."Use "me" when you are referring to yourself and you are the object of the sentence or in a prepositional phrase and the like. For example, "Grandfather gave me a gift."
