“As If/as though” ile gerçekteki izlenimimizi ifade etmiyorsak, sadece bir benzetme yapıyorsak, o zaman gerçeği ifade eden cümlenin past biçimi kullanılır ve bu cümlelerde bir hayal (imagine/unreal situations) ifade edildiği için, “be” fiilinin past biçimi olarak bütün öznelerle “were” kullanımı tercih edilir.

Bazen “as If/as though” ile ifade edilen durumun “real” ya da “unreal” olması, konuşmacının o konuda sahip olduğu bilgiye bağlıdır.

He talks about art as if he had studied it before, but he is just being - pretentious. He doesn’t really know what he is talking about, (unreal situation)
“Unreal” durumlardan söz ederken, özellikle konuşmacı kendisinin o anki duygularını ifade ediyorsa, hem present hem de past tense’lerin kullanılması mümkündür. Dilbilgisi kuralları açısından past tense’lerin kullanılması gerekir, ancak duygulara biraz daha dramatik bir anlam katmak için, present tense’ler bu biçimde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır.

Ancak bu kullanım, yazı dilinde doğru olarak kabul edilmemektedir. Özellikle, çoktan seçmeli bir sınavda seçeneklerde her ikisi ile de karşılaşırsanız, dilbilgisi kurallarını uygulamanız gerekir: “like” tan sonra bir isim, “as if/as though” dan sonra bir cümle gelir.
