as if/as though都是“好像”的意思,引导的表语从句或状语从句常用虚拟语气。
1.如果从句表示与现在事实相反,谓语动词用一般过去时。请看例句:
Don't handle the vase as if it were made of steel.
不要这么拿着这个花瓶,就好像它是钢制成的。(与现在的事实相反,注意在虚拟语气中只用were不用was)
2.表示与过去事实相反,谓语动词用had done,请看例句:
She talked about the novel as though she had really read it.
她谈论那部小说就好像她确实看过一样。(与过去的事实相反)
3.表示与将来事实相反,谓语动词用would/might/could+动词原形 请看例句
It looks as it might rain.(as if 引导表语从句,与将来事实相反。)
学习了上面的语法知识,我们来试着做下面这个题目:
It was John who broke the window. Why are talking to me as if I____(do)it?
