It is a sandwich. I saw a complaint on a website, and was wondering if it is correct in general. Maybe both are possible in that case!

In that case, these are correct:

I wish they added more tomato and lettuce.
I wish there was/were more tomato and lettuce.

Thanks. What is the difference in using was or were in the second sentence. I thought that were is the correct correct because it is followed by two items, tomato and lettuce. Would you please explain?

The number of items is irrelevant. 'Were' is subjunctive and 'was' is indicative. The latter is often used for the former in informal English nowadays.

So the better choice would be 'were', that is if you were to choose between them?
And if the number of items were relevent, only 'were' would be possible?

Teacher I am just curious if it would be correct to use 'are' in the sentence or other conditionals instead of 'were'. I think not, but I am not sure. Am I correct or wrong?
