English grammar question involving conditional tense.

Asked by Mariah (25883points) October 10th, 2011

I know this is pretty basic. I don’t get why this is tripping me up. I’m writing in the present tense, and this phrase is messing with my brain:

“My sister would disown me if she knew how far from home I ___ right now.”

Am? Was? Were?

Thanks in advance, grammar jellies.
