She would be sad if she was hear that
Which one is correct?
Hi Alessandra!
The meaning is pretty much the same :) The construction with "was" is more colloquial.
You can also say "she would be sad if she heard that".
One thing to pay attention to when using the "if she were/was to" construction is whether you have a verb or not. If you have a verb, you need a "to" after the were/was. If you have a noun or an adjective, the way you wrote it would be fine. Here are two examples:
Verb: if she were to hear that, she would be sad.
Adjective/noun: if she were rich/if she were a rich woman, she would be very happy.
Hope this didn't confuse you!

Condition three expresses impossibility
If you heat water it boils (condition zero )
