Grammar
As if and as though
Hi
I think we can use as if and as though interchangeably.
Please tell if these sentences are correct.
Context 1 - imaginary situation
He behaved as if he were a lion.
Context 2 : Something might have been true.
A: They ran as if they were chased by an elephant.
B: In fact, they were.
Context 3: Something might be true.
She speaks as if she knows everything about this place. She may live here.
