The conjunctions โ€˜althoughโ€™ and โ€˜thoughโ€™ have the same meaning and most of the time can be used interchangeably. โ€˜Thoughโ€™ is much more informal than โ€˜althoughโ€™, so it is more common in speaking.
They may stand at the beginning of the sentence:

  • Although he didnโ€™t introduce himself, I knew he was James Bond.
  • Though he didnโ€™t introduce himself, I knew he was James Bond. (informal)

in the middle:

  • I knew he was James Bond, although he didnโ€™t introduce himself.
  • I knew he was James Bond, though he didnโ€™t introduce himself. (informal)

Tip: you can also use โ€˜even thoughโ€™ to sound more formal:

  • I knew he was James Bond, even though he didnโ€™t introduce himself.

In informal English, you may use โ€˜thoughโ€™ at the end of a sentence:

  • James is coming to the party. He hates parties, though.
