ALTHOUGH/ THOUGH

[jose c crespo]

 how do I use the words ALTHOUGH and THOUGH.

[resources]

Although is more common at the beginning of a sentence (but I don't consider though incorrect):
Although it was pouring with rain, he decided to take a walk.

Only though is used in clause equivalents:
Though living in Norway for years, he didn't learn the language properly.

I still can't c the difference between the first example and the 2nd one you've given! May I have more explanation?

Thanks.

As conjunctions, although and though are generally interchangeable: Although (or though) she smiled, she was angry. Although is usually placed at the beginning of its clause (as in the preceding example), whereas though may occur elsewhere and is the more common term when used to link words or phrases, as in wiser though poorer. In certain constructions, only though is acceptable: Fond though (not although) I am of sports, I'd rather not sit through another basketball game.
