as if既可以引导表语从句,也可以引导方式状语从句,意为“仿佛,好像”。 as if引导的从句所表示的情况是事实或具有很大可能性时,通常用陈述语气;当其所表示的情况不是事实,而是主观的想象或夸大性的比喻时,通常用虚拟语气,其从句时态变化如下:

实相反
从句用一般过去时(be动词用were)
与过去事
实相反
从句用过去完成时“had+过去分词”
与将来事
实相反
从句用“would/could/might+动词原形”结构
[温馨提示] as if引导状语从句时,若主、从句主语一致,且从句谓语有be动词时,从句中的主语和be动词常常可以省略,即“as if+形容词/名词/介词短语/分词/不定式”。如:
