“If she was” is past tense, indicative mood. It describes something that happened or may have happened in the past. “If she were” is present tense, subjunctive mood. It describes a hypothetical situation that is not true.

Why do we say if I were?

The reason we use WERE instead of WAS is because the sentence is in the SUBJUNCTIVE mood which is used for hypothetical situations. This is a condition which is contrary to fact or reality (the fact is, I am NOT you). In the subjunctive mood we use IF + I / HE / SHE / IT + WERE for the verb To Be.

Were is used in the second person singular and plural (you, your, yours) and first and third person plural (we, they).

Is it I just seen or I just saw?

The meaning you’re presumably asking about is “moments ago, recently”. In this sense, *”I just see” is ungrammatical; “just” in this sense implies that the action occurred in the past, which contradicts the present tense “see”. “I just saw the movie.” “I’ve just seen the movie.”

Do you say I seen or saw?

In standard English, it’s “I’ve seen” not “I’ve saw.” The helping verb “have” (abbreviated here to “’ve”) requires “seen.” In the simple past (no helping verb), the expression is “I saw,” not “I seen.” “I’ve seen a lot of ugly cars, but when I saw that old beat-up Rambler I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
