Hello everybody and welcome to Learn English Live 25.
My name is Steve Ford and today I have a great question from Carlos from Brazil.
Hey Carlos, I get this question all of the time. And what I want you to know is that although and even though are like twin brothers.
but even though, he’s a little stronger. So let’s look at how they are used:
"even though"can be used in the same way but it's stronger, it's more emphatic
Remember! it's the stronger brother of the two!
Now "though" is the youngest brother, it's a more informal version of although, and slowly, he's gaining more respect
from his older brothers and from the world and is commonly used in business nowadays
Now "though", being the youngest brother is a rebel!
He does things his brothers wouldn't dare do!
Though can exceptionally be used at the end of a sentence
it can mean “however” or “nevertheless” as in
You can also use it to give more emphasis to what you’re saying
One last tip is that you can also use while in place of “although”
and in the case of British English you can say "whilst"
Well everybody I hope you enjoyed my video answering our online English learner's question and I look forward to our next lesson online!
Bye for now!
