The Past Simple with "as if" & "as though"

As If and As Though are used for hypothetical situations
Like the second conditional, they are used with the past simple because the situations are not real.

  “You’re asking us to do more work, as if we didn’t have enough already.”

It is similar to saying like this or like that.

  “They’re talking as though we didn’t need to worry about expanding.”

We can also use them with the subjunctive mood.

  “They’re treating me as if I were responsible for the entire problem.”
