Is it where or when possible?
English (U.S.) “When” is the most correct, I agree that “where” wouldn’t be totally wrong, but it still is somewhat odd.
What does where necessary mean?
Definition of ‘if necessary/when necessary/where necessary’ If you say that something will happen if necessary, when necessary, or where necessary, you mean that it will happen if it is necessary, when it is necessary, or where it is necessary.
Were needed or where needed?
Were is the past tense of be when used as a verb. Where means in a specific place when used as an adverb or conjunction. A good way to remember the difference is that where has an “h” for “home”, and home is a place. Out of the two words, “were” is the most common.
Was possible or were possible?
Use ‘were’ for hypothetical cases and ‘was’ for factual ones. It depends on what you are trying to say. “If it was possible” is a hypothetical about contingent past events. “If it were possible” is a hypothetical about present or future events, strongly implying the possibility is non-existent.
