How to use the word "though"
Hello everyone,
Can someone tell me how to use the word "though" is that same with "but"??
Can I use but instead of though???
I read some sentence from the text book.
For example,
You can exchange it for another color though.
Another patient has canceled an appointment for eight o'clock tomorrow mooring though. Can you come in then?
It's just a square though.

Thank you for help.

Answer

It isn't as strong as "but."  It is used to show that one part of a sentence is different in cause or effect from the other part.  Examples:

"He wears cheap clothes, though he makes a lot of money at his job."
"I'm coming to the part, though I may be a bit late."
"Everyone over the age of 18 has the right to vote in America, though many do not."

Basically, it means the same as "although."

Answer

Though is usually at the middle or ending of a sentence, Like: Gaelic has been a dying language for many years, though children are nowadays taught it in school." Or you can say : "I don't want to go to school for it, though." Though can be very flexible.
Synonyms could be like ; yet, but, still, etc.

Answer

I understood it when I started seeing it as "however", haven't gone wrong. Hope it's useful.
