Writing Tips

Although / Even though / Though


You can use these words to show contrast between two clauses or sentences. You can use although, even though and though at the beginning of a sentence or clause that has a verb.

“Although / Even though / Though everyone played well, we lost the game”.
“We lost the game, although / even though / though everyone played well”.

*Even though sounds more emphatic than although.

Although and though can also mean ‘but’.

“Everyone played well, although we still lost the game”.
“Everyone played well. We still lost the game though.”

Though may come at the end of the sentence and is used more in spoken English than in written.
