Default Re: Please, help!!!!!

although and though
conjunctions
Both these words can be used as conjunctions, with the same meaning. In informal speech, though is more common.
(Al)though the government refuses to admit it, its economic policy is in ruins.
(Al)though I don't agree with him, I think he's honest.
I'd like to go out, (al)though it is a bit late.
We use even though to emphasize a contrast. (Even although is not possible.)
Even though I didn't understand a word, I kept smiling.
