English : Although and Though
Is there a difference in meaning between although and though?
By Mrs. Eugene, Italy – 18th May 2007.
No, there isn't. The two words can be used interchangeably in most contexts.
Here are a few examples.
• Although/though it was hot, Bala refused to take off his sweater.
• We enjoyed our stay in Mumbai, although/though the weather was terrible.
• Although/though he was rich, no girl wanted to marry him.
Unlike the word though, although cannot be used at the end of a sentence.
Here are a few examples.
• The girl was very intelligent, though.
• The movie was very good, though.
• The dosa was delicious, though.
It would be unacceptable to use the word although in the above sentences.
