Como si followed by subjuntivo
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the imperfect subjunctive after the conjunction como si in Spanish (subordinate manner clauses)"
Asked 3 years ago
Hola Nowshad
No, como si cannot be followed by the present subjunctive. It could be followed by the present indicative though, but this would take a very different meaning, very idiomatic. We have a lesson on this. Have a look.

Gracias Inma. Este frase me confunde. Pienso que " It is always followed by the imperfect subjunctive."
