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.
Hi Jennifer, how are you doing? Thanks for sharing another great lesson. They played as if they were tired. They played as though they were professionals. I speak English as if I were a native speaker. I had a dream. Thanks Jennifer.
My examples: - She felt as if she were not appreciated, but she was. - He acted as if he were the teacher, but actually, he just was another student. Thanks for the class.
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."
@@Tara-jl2mx "as if" is the answer to #III question. It means that there's a chance to see each other in person, but the probability of that event equals approximately zero. In my opinion, it follows from Jennifer's lesson, which my examples refer to. I think so, but not sure because I'm only a student of English.
@@sergeipetrov5572Thank a million for your time. So you say as though you are likely to meet meanwhile you are not sure ! Do I really get what you've said?
@@Tara-jl2mx No. I mean another thing. It's like a polite refusing. Theoretically, that's possible. In reality, it will never occur. For instance: She'll meet him tomorrow if people find life on the Sun.
Thanks for this great video, but i have a question. Could you please explain the cases where we also use past perfect in the "as if/though" clause. I am quite confused with using either past simple or past perfect 🤔🤔
Amazing lesson! Thankyou so much. 1.We ordered them to leave the place as if we were police. 2. Government acted as if they have Been working on projects sincerely Also please check are they correct? please do reply.Thanks again
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 😊
Dear Ms. Forrest, I have a question regarding the (as if) rule, in this sentence which answer it the correct one? He looke up at the house as if he .................. how to get in. a. was wondering b. was wandering c. would wander d. would wonder
"Inna explains everything so clearly as though she were an expert in every topic." "Believe me, I know how it feels as if I were in your shoes." "Joe acted up as though he were a child."

Thank you so much for this fabulous lesson! All your videos are helping me a lot to improve my English. You explain everything clearly with excellent examples to understand it even better 😊
Mam your way of speaking very understandable having watched your videos I improved my English and I started my RUclips channel too so thanks for helping me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello! "I'm feeling cold as though I were sick". Is this correct? Is it possible to use 'as though' after the adjective? Thank you so much Jennifer for all your videos btw
Hello, thanks for the video! I saw this sentence in a book where it says that " they pretend as though he is invisible" - is it correct to use present tense which shows a possible situation here although it is not possible - at least in that speific context? just because he is disabled some people behaved as though he is invisible.
hank you for your comment! In this case, it would be more appropriate to use "as though he were invisible," since the phrase refers to an impossible or hypothetical situation. The past subjunctive "were" is often used in such contexts to express unreality or improbability.
To Future Me: I have studied this class. Can we use "as if" in any tenses? My mother loves me as if I am her only son. You are talking to me as if I am not your friend. You are looking at me as if I did something wrong. You did this to me as if I were a quilty. You are telling this story as if you have been there. Are there any mistakes in these sentences dear teacher. I really like watching your videos because I am learning very useful things in a easy way.
Examples: 1. She looks stunning as if she were a actress. 2. He scolded them as though he were thier father. 3. You have been taking care of this house as if you would sell it. 4. She boasted in front of everyone as though she herself had cooked all this cuisine. 5. He was so proud of himself as if he went school daily. 6. He seems like he is hungry . 7. They look as if they are frightened.
You teach me how to speak English as if no teacher can teach me like that and I feel yoy help me increase my English exponentially as though I haven't been like that before
I really appreciate your lecture and bonus tip at the last from Seoul, Korea ! You always help me with my English journey ! I just made up my two examples below. Could you please corrct me if i am wrong ? 1. I feel as if i didn't have dinner tonight, but i had ! 2. He looks like he lives nearby.
Hi ...i came across ur video just now ...ur as if video is very useful ..could you please make a video for AS OF NOW ...I'm getting confused with usage of as of now...I vll be looking forward...
Thank you for your informative lesson, but I am a little bit confused about whether as if/as though-clause is a subjective complement or not. If not, could you please help me to figure out which grammatical function or name we should call exactly?
Hello, I'm Chinese, I don't understand how to use what if, how to use when these two words are connected? For example:1 what if everyone becomes a scientist2What if elephants ruled the World?I don't understand what's mean?and how use them in a sentence.Expect you to make a video,thank you.我是中国人，正在学习英语，很感谢你的解答
Dear Jennifer can we use "as if/ as though" in the present tense or present continuous? For example:You are acting as if there is a problem between you and her. For example:You want to leave me alone at home as if I am an adult. Are they correct?
Time frame 3:00 Ma'am, I have one doubt, Were is used for plural form of the all the subject means we, you, they. How can it be used with He which singular form?
Can we still use ''As if/ As though'' when it comes to a situation that is impossible or unlikely to happen? Like for instance - She is excited to get a promotion as if the boss would give her a chance to.
Hey Jenifer , here are my examples. He witnessed as if he were with him but he wasn't. I am exhausted as If I were working hard all the night. I feel as if I didn't eat my breakfast. Can't wait to get your response.
Just in case, could you so a lesson explaining the differences between farther and further? I tried to look them up in the internet but I still couldn't understand the difference very well! Its just a simple suggestion 😉
Can "as if" be used with different verb tenses? She acted as if she were the president. She acted as if she would be the president. She acted as if she was the president? What all forms can it be used with or not used with? Thanks for the comparison to the use of "like" - that was really helpful!
I am curious, do you think the use of "as if" is more UK English based than US English based? Would the use of "like" be more common in US English conversations than UK English conversations? Thanks.
"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. good example
It's a great lesson to comprehend as if/as though. Thanks. I have tried to make some sentences using as if/as though. Check these please: 1. She has felt as if all her worries went. 2. The new executive director welcomed me as though he had known(or he has known) me for years. 3. The furniture looked as if it has been found in the street. 4. The teacher spoke to the student slowly and carefully as if she were speaking to a child.
Thanks for this amazing class 😄😄 I'm so exhausted as if I have been run over by a truck. She acted as if she were my mom. They talked to us as though we were some sort of jerk. Are these sentences ok grammatically?? tks in advance
Hey, Miguel. In this example, you should use "were" instead of "was", because this is an unreal situation related to an unreal comparison. Your brother can't be your father at the same time, so you're gonna say "as if he WERE", exactly as explained in the video.
They looked at me as if i were a thief. Is this correct? If it is incorrect could you plzz explain what are the mistakes? and thank you for your valuable lesson❤

Hey, Miguel. In this example, you should use "were" instead of "was", because this is an unreal situation related to an unreal comparison. Your brother can't be your father at the same time, so you're gonna say "as if he WERE", exactly as explained in the video.
Should we use "were" after "like" for all the subjects when we talk about unreal situations?
