Показать описание
In this video, learn how to use "as if" and "as though".

Both "as if" and "as though" are used to make unreal comparisons. Because they're hypothetical, you need to use the subjunctive form of the verb. You'll learn how to form sentences using "as if" and "as though" using correct English sentence structure.

In this case, both "as if" and "as though" can be used interchangeably.

"As if" and "as though" can also be used to talk about something that seems likely/possible. In this case, you can use different verb tenses depending on the context and time reference. You'll see example sentences using "as if" and "as though" when something seems likely or possible so you can see how the sentence structure changes.

In this case, "as if" and "as though" can be used interchangeably. Native speakers also commonly use "like" in this case.

Although "as if" and "as though" can be used interchangeably without a difference in meaning, "as if" is a lot more common and natural.

By the end of the video, you'll feel confident using "as if" and "as though" so you can improve your English grammar and sound fluent in English.

You are talking to me as if you were my father →a hypothetical situation .

You are guiding us as if you have been living here → a real situation

Hi Jennifer! Thank you! Here are some examples: 1) He continued as if nothing was amiss. 2) He spends money as though he were a millionaire. 3) I understand how you feel as if I were you. 4) He continued as if he didn't hear.

Hello Jennifer! Nice to see you! Owing to your lessons, I get not only new info but also your vision of English and its intrinsic essence. That costs a lot! Thank you so much! My examples:
I. He ate as if he were hungry for ages.
II. John speaks as though he's born in the West.
III. "Could I meet you one day?"
"As if."

She was as if she weren't the one who created it, when the problem had just got worse.
I could either say "she was like she weren't the one who created it, when the problem had just got worse."
At present times, it seems to me as if my interests on learning my favourite language've been hiking up.
How about my sentences ma'am? Waiting eagerly for your remarks 😊
