Dear Sir, I was wondering if I might dare to ask you a question. Let me get across presently: Why do you not use the subjunctive mode after as though ? For instance:
it looks as if it were going to rain ( correct or incorrect?)
It looks as if it is going to rain ( correct or incorrect )
It looks as though it were going to rain ( correct or incorrect ?)
It looks as though it is going to rain ( correct )
BUT
Native speakers say:
It looks like it is going to rain ( correct or incorrect)
Please accept my deepest apologies for disturbing you. I pay my respects to you.

Hi Den
I'm from india
I have a qution
When we use any + singular countable noun and when we use any +plural countable noun
Like do you have any pens
And you can take any pen
What 's the difference between these two sentences.
