Read and think
Read the sentences. What is the relationship between the two parts of each sentence
How are they connected
The relationship between the two parts of each sentence is one of “contrast” or “concession”, which is grammatically represented by the use of “although” .
This structure is used to show that despite the situation described in the first part (which often presents a challenge, difficulty, or negative condition), the outcome or situation described in the second part still occurs or holds true.

An adverbial clause of concession comes either before or after the main clause.
In general, use a comma (,) when an adverbial clause begins the sentence.
让步状语从句出现在主句前或主句后。让步状语从句出现在句首时，通常用逗号（,）将其与主句隔开。

1. We use although and though to connect sentences together.
although 和 though 可用于将两个句子合并成一句。
e.g. She spends a lot on stamps. She does not have much money.
→ She spends a lot on stamps although/though she does not have much money.
→ Although/Though she does not have much money, she spends a lot on stamps.

2. We use although and though to show contrasting ideas.
although 和 though 可用于表达对立的意思。
e.g. Though the robot cleaner is quite useful, it makes a lot of noise.
The dictionary is heavy to carry around although it is easy to read.

3. We use although and though to show something unexpected.
although 和 though 可用于表达出乎意料的情况。
e.g. This pocket watch still works well though it looks very old.
Although he said he no longer needed the old watch, he took it with him everywhere.

Other detailed rules
Although 和 though 都可以引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管”或“虽然”的意思。它们的语法规则和用法非常相似，以下是具体的规则和例句：
1. 位置：
可以放在句首，也可以放在句中（主句之前）。
例如：
Although/Though + 从句，主句。
主句 + although/though + 从句。
Other detailed rules
2. 时态：
从句和主句的时态可以一致，也可以不一致。
例如：
Although it was raining, we went out. （从句过去时，主句过去时）
Though he is young, he is very experienced. （从句现在时，主句现在时）
Other detailed rules
3. 省略：
在口语或非正式语境中，如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且从句谓语包含“be”动词，可以省略主语和“be”动词。
例如：
Though (he was) tired, he kept working.
Other detailed rules
4. 倒装：
在正式文体中，可以将形容词、副词或动词提前，形成倒装结构。
例如：
Young though he was, he was very wise.
Hard though she tried, she couldn’t succeed.
Other detailed rules
注意tips：
Although 和 though 通常可以互换使用，但 although 更正式，though 更口语化。
在句首时，although 和 though 都可以使用；在句中时，though 更常见。
如果从句表达的是事实或既定情况，可以用 even though 来强调对比。
Although 和 though 句子中都不可以和but同时出现，不可一起使用。
