常見錯誤

❌As if do I care about your opinion?
✅As if I care about your opinion.
💡The phrase is a fixed declarative statement; do not add auxiliary inversion as if it were a question.
❌As if I care about your opinion, but I actually do.' (adding a contradictory clause that destroys the sarcasm)
✅Use the phrase alone or with a sarcastic tone in delivery; spelling out the contradiction removes the rhetorical effect.
