AS IF / AS THOUGH
The phrase "as though/as if" is used to introduce a subordinate clause that expresses a hypothetical or unreal situation. When using "as though/as if" in a sentence starting with "it" followed by a sense verb (e.g., "seems," "appears," "feels"), the structure typically follows this pattern:
"It + sense verb + as though + subordinate clause."
Here are some examples to illustrate this rule
In each of these examples, the introductory phrase "It + sense verb" establishes the general perception or observation, followed by "as though" to introduce a subordinate clause that describes a hypothetical or unreal situation related to the initial perception.

Complex Comparisons
Complex comparative adjectives are formed by adding the word "more" or "less" before a multi-syllable adjective to compare two things. This is done when the adjective itself cannot easily take the "-er" suffix. Here are some examples of complex comparative adjectives in sentences:
