Hello and welcome to LetThemTalk What I want to show you today is how to use “though”, “although” and “even “though” in English. But what I want you to especially pay attention to. Is how to use “though” at the end of a sentence as it’s very common among natives English speakers.
ok First of all lets look at the differences between “although” and “though”. They are both used to show the contrast of an idea. As a conjunction, that is for connecting clauses in a sentence, they are exactly the same. Some say that “although” is more formal but you’ll find both forms in written and spoken English.
You can use “though” or “although” at the beginning of a sentence: for example:
Though it was cold, we still went swimming
or in the middle of a sentence for example
I decided to go to the party, although I was tired.
I passed the exam, although it was difficult
Even though can also be used to show a greater contrast
They gave him the job even though he was very young.
“though” (but not “although” or “even though”) can also be used as an adverb at the end of a sentence. We do this a lot in conversation and informal writing.
we won the cup. It wasn’t easy though
So remember all you need is a statement, followed by an idea that shows a contrast to that statement then put “though” at the end.
A lot of people like him. He’s a complete idiot though.
to respond to what somebody else said with contrasting statement for example
This is a terrible film
Yes, I know. I do like it though
Using “though” like this at the end of a sentence like this is extremely common among native English speakers especially in conversation so do use it.
That’s it thank you for watching, this English language video has finished we’ve got more coming soon though.
