The words though<\/strong> and although <\/strong>are conjunctions. That means they are used to connect two clauses. They are interchangeable. Though<\/strong> is more common in an informal style.<\/p>\n

Study the example sentences given below.<\/p>\n

I worked hard.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t pass the test.<\/p>\n

We can combine these two sentences using though or although.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though<\/strong> I worked hard, I didn\u2019t pass the test.<\/p>\n

OR Although<\/strong> I worked hard, I didn\u2019t pass the test.<\/p>\n

To emphasize a contrast, we can use even though. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though<\/strong> I worked hard, I didn\u2019t pass the test.<\/p>\n

Note that even although<\/strong> is not possible.<\/p>\n

The word \u2018though\u2019 can also be used as an adverb. In this case, it means \u2018however\u2019.<\/p>\n

After an adjective or adverb, as<\/strong> and though <\/strong>can both mean \u2018although\u2019.<\/p>\n

Angry as\/though<\/strong> she was, she said nothing. (= Although she was angry she said nothing.)<\/p>\n

Tired though<\/strong> she was, she went on working. (= Although she was tired, she went on working.)<\/p>\n

Hot though<\/strong> it was, we went on playing. OR Hot as<\/strong> it was, we went on playing. (= Although it was hot, we went on playing.)<\/p>\n
