ALTHOUGH , THOUGH AND EVEN THOUGH

These expressions are adverbs

After although we use:

S + V

Although = formal speechThough = informal speechEven though= emphasis, expectations

These expressions are used to make contrast

Examples:

Sometimes we use though instead of although:

We often use though at the end of a sentence.

(= but I like the garden )

Even though is a stronger form of altough, example:

1. Even though I was really tired, I could not sleep.
