Use of although/ though/ even though/but
Read the following sentences.
- Although the café was crowded, we found a vacant table.
Although Sadie has passed her test, she never drives.
The clause with although can also come after the main clause.
For example: We found a vacant table, although the café was crowded. - Though I liked the pullover, I didn’t buy it.
Though it was pouring cats and dogs, he set out for his journey.
We can use though at the end of the sentence.
For example: I liked the pullover; I didn’t buy it, though. - We can use ‘even though’ in the same way.
John looked quite fresh even though he had just recovered from jaundice.
‘Even though’ can be used at the beginning of the sentence also.
‘Even though’ I hate Gopal, I shall try to be nice with him.
‘Even though’ is stronger and more emphatic than ‘although’ - We can join two clauses with ‘but’.
For example: We wanted to go abroad, but our passports were not ready.
We use these words (although, though, even though, but) to show the contrast between two clauses or two sentences.
Although, though, even though and but can be used as conjunctions to introduce afterthoughts, contrasts, or restrictions and conditions.
