The answer that was given is hypothetical.
The question was purely hypothetical, not to be taken seriously at all. My freind was being hypothetical when he was making a hypothesis.~
If I were you, I would use "if" and "were" very carefully in a sentence. If we were speaking the same language, we could communicate better. If they were still together, they could both come to my party. If you were here, you would see my plight.
"If I were rich, I would travel the world." In this sentence, "were" is in the subjunctive mood as it expresses a hypothetical situation.
"Would've" is a contraction of "would have." It is used to express a past possibility or hypothetical situation that did not happen. For example: "I would've gone to the party if I had known earlier."
Since the word 'hypothetical' refers to a situation that is only being entertained in the mind, for it has not happened in reality, or to a situation that you wish people to believe has not happened, you can frame it in a number of ways: 1) Hypothetically, if I told you that I robbed a bank today, what would you do? 2) That is a hypothetical question, I hope? 3) I present to you the hypothetical situation that we left New York at 3:00. When would we have arrived in Connecticut? 4) Sure, your crazy idea would work... in a hypothetical world. 5) He constantly talked in hypotheticals, presenting one insane situation after another.
Because I can't admit to anything everything I say is hypothetical.

Hypothetical sentences usually have an "if clause" and a "result clause". The "result clause" contains a modal auxiliary verb (would, could, should, etc.) and the verb in the "if clause" is usually in subjunctive form. Conditional (hypothetical) sentences can be confusing because they use past tense verbs to express present tense conditions.If I were you, I would rethink my actions.(Notice that "were" is not the typical singular first person conjugation of "to be".)That sentence is hypothetical because it is not possible for "I" to be "you". The sentence is also present tense.If she were rich, she would travel the world.Again, that sentence is hypothetical (contrary to fact). "She" is not rich. It expresses a wish, and it is also present tense.

"If I were rich, I would travel the world." In this sentence, "were" is in the subjunctive mood as it expresses a hypothetical situation.
An axion is a hypothetical particle. Please be careful with that axion, Eugene.
Abiogenesis refers to the hypothetical organic phenomenon by which a given living organism are created from the living matter. An example in a sentence includes "The first step in the scientific refutation of the theory of abiogenesis was taken by the Italian Redi."
The "were" in the sentence "If I were you, I would consult a specialist" is a sign that the sentence is in the subjunctive mood. In this case, the sentence deals with a hypothetical situation, one that is contrary to fact: "If I were you" is contrary to fact" because I am not you.
A hypothetical anecdote is used in stories to help illustrate their points. They are short and comical or fascinating situations that usually require the reader to think about something possibly happening. These often include the words "what if."
The "were" in the sentence "If I were you, I would consult a specialist" is a sign that the sentence is in the subjunctive mood. In this case, the sentence deals with a hypothetical situation, one that is contrary to fact: "If I were you" is contrary to fact" because I am not you.
"Would've" is a contraction of "would have." It is used to express a past possibility or hypothetical situation that did not happen. For example: "I would've gone to the party if I had known earlier."
It comes from the word hypothesis.The easiest way to explain it is to use it in a sentence."What is the air speed velocity of a swallow carrying a coconut?""Swallows do not carry coconuts.""Ok well, hypothetically, what would it be if they did carry coconuts?"
