Hi teachers,
I have read in one of my grammar books these definitions:
a) If you simply want to contrast two statements, you use 'although', 'though' or 'even though'.
b) 'However' emphasizes the fact that the second point contrasts with or seems to contradict the first.
c) These words link two ideas and show contrast between them.
I don't see much difference in terms of those definitions. Could you give a better one please?
Eg.
Even though Arthur drives more carefully than he did when he was younger, he is still driving too fast according to Deborah.
He has to work hard— harder than the excavator operators, for example. However, he earns less money than they do.
Thanks in advance.
