When to use "was" and when to use "were"?

I wish there was more I could do?
or
I wish there were more I could do?
Which is grammatically correct? (and why?)
  

Top answer

Anonymous I wish there was more I could do? or I wish there were more I could do? Both are used, but the second is considered "more educated".
