(6)談論過去情形的動詞形式有以下幾種：
a)過去式，表示過去的狀態，如：

但是，如果狀態動詞帶有持續時間狀語，則用過去完成時：

Now it is as though she had known Millie for years. (《現代英語用法詞典》)
情態動詞亦用過去時：
She felt as though she could hardly endure such a life.她覺得簡直無法忍受這樣的生活。
b)過去完成時，表示過去的動作先於主句動詞而發生或完成，如：
It was as if he had lost his last friend. “I remember,” she tells her children now, “how wild his white
hair looked——as if it had been electrified.”（高二冊，第91頁）
必須注意的時，在指過去的動作時，即使主句是現在時，as if 從句中的動詞也要用過去完成時：
You look as if you’d seen a ghost. 你好像是見了鬼似的。
He talks about Rome as though he had been there himself.他講起羅馬的情況來就好像他親自到過那裡似的。
c)過去進行時，表示動作正在進行：

d)過去將來時，表示將要發生的事態：

舉例
