[wptabcontent]128. Using the present tense after as if or as though instead of the past.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabcontent] Don't say: Janine talks as if she knows everything.
Say: Janine talks as if she knew everything.
Use the past tense after the phrase as if or as though. He talks
as if he knew everything, means He talks
as he would talk if he knew everything.
Note: Use the subjective were with the verb to
be after as if: He acts as if he were a rich man. [/wptabcontent]

[wptabcontent]129. Using the past conditional of wish instead of the present  indicative.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabcontent] Don't say: I would wish to know more English.
Say: I wish (that) I knew more English.
Use the present tense of wish to express a present meaning, followed by a
that clause containing a past tense.
130. Using a wrong tense with an improbable condition.
Don't say: If he would/'d ask me, I would/'d stay.
Say: If he asked me, I would/'d stay.
Express an improbable condition by the past tense and use the
 conditional in the main clause. This use of the past tense doesn't
 indicate a time but a degree of probability. [/wptabcontent]
[wptabcontent]131. Using a wrong tense with a  counterfactual condition.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabcontent] Don't say: If he would/'d have asked me , I would/'d stay.
Say: If he had/'d asked me, I would/'d have stayed.

Express a counterfactual (that didn't happen) condition by the past
 perfect and use the past conditional in the main clause.
 This use of the past perfect doesn't indicate a time but an impossible happening. [/wptabcontent]

[wptabcontent]132. Using the infinitive instead of a finite verb.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabcontent] Don't say: Sir, to go home to get my book?
Say: Sir, may I go home to get my book?

The infinitive simply names an action without reference to person,
  number or time. Therefore, it can't make sense without the help of a finite verb. [/wptabcontent]
[wptabcontent]133. Mixing up the tenses.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabcontent] Don't say: They asked him to be captain, but he refuses.
Say: They asked him to be captain, but he refused.

If you begin with a verb referring to past time, keep the verb forms
 in the past. The same rule applies to tenses throughout a composition. [/wptabcontent]
