Inversion (2)
Please read:
1.I'm sure I would enjoy that were I to do it.
2.I'm sure I would enjoy that I were to do it.
I think (1) is incorrect. If not, please tell me the inversion rule here.
Thanks

1. I'm sure I would enjoy that, were I to do it. - correct
This is an inversion of the sentence 'I'm sure I would enjoy that, if I were to do it' - there is an 'if clause' here and hence 'if I were' is inverted to 'were I'.
