The conjunctions โalthoughโ and โthoughโ have the same meaning and most of the time can be used interchangeably. โThoughโ is much more informal than โalthoughโ, so it is more common in speaking.
They may stand at the beginning of the sentence:
- Although he didnโt introduce himself, I knew he was James Bond.
- Though he didnโt introduce himself, I knew he was James Bond. (informal)
in the middle:
- I knew he was James Bond, although he didnโt introduce himself.
- I knew he was James Bond, though he didnโt introduce himself. (informal)
Tip: you can also use โeven thoughโ to sound more formal:
- I knew he was James Bond, even though he didnโt introduce himself.
In informal English, you may use โthoughโ at the end of a sentence:
- James is coming to the party. He hates parties, though.
