1. If I had a lot of money, I could buy a car.
2. If I could buy a house, I would be happy.
3. If I were a rich person, I could buy a smart phone.
3-2. If I " was" a rich person, I could buy a smart phone.
--------------------------------
Are they all grammatical? Can we use 'was' as in #3-2? Is it correct in a test?
