Under 3, there are to be noted sentences containing, -

a. The Indicative in both clauses.
b. The Subjunctive, present and perfect in both clauses.
c. The Subjunctive, imperfect and pluperfect in both clauses.

1. The Subjunctive after pourve que and pour peu que to express a Proviso.
2. The Subjunctive and more frequently the Indicative, after comme si, in Comparative Clauses.
3. The Subjunctive after si.
