     I don't want to nitpick, but that's not a very nativelike example 
for a test sentence.  I've only heard English speakers use "I am very 
sad if ..." in habitual or generic contexts, and even then "I get very 
sad when ..." is much more common.  "I would be very sad if ..." is also 
used.  Maybe check your test sentences against the CoCA or something?
