if I was taller.

Step-by-step explanation:

since that's in the subjunctive mood, the right way to say it is:

"If I were taller, I could reach the top shelf "

or even better

If I were taller, I would reach the top shelf.

By the way, the verb create should be conjugated as :

"which word creates" with -es in the end of the verb.

I hope this helps you!
