What does the word “though” mean and on which occasions can be used? I'm a little confused about the word though. I hear it a lot of times in different sentences in different sequences. Thank you in advance! Have a great day everyone!

"though" adds a condition that is contrary to the main thought or contrary to expectations. (e.g., a negative to a positive or vice versa) This is a great restaurant! It's expensive though. (great = good; expensive = bad)(contrary) I invited him to come. He turned me down though. (invited = yes; turned me down = no)(contrary to expectations) Though the road is smooth, it's a dangerous journey because the road winds through the mountains. (smooth = good; dangerous = bad)(contrary) Though I've lived in this town for 10 years, I've never visited that famous downtown museum. (lived long = good; never visited = bad)(contrary to expectations)

it shows contrast between sentences though = although in the meaning >>> example >> though it was raining, he still wanted to ride his bike or u can say . .He still wanted to ride his bike though it was raining >>>>> After although we use subject +verb

Hi! What's your native language? "Though", **not to be confused with "Through"*** is also a shortened version of "although" (pronounced Ahl-th-oh) and both can be used interchangeably. "I'm going to the party, THOUGH I really don't want to." Here you could also say.... "I'm going to the party, BUT I really don't want to" "I'm going to the party, ALTHOUGH I really don't want to" "I'm going to the party, HOWEVER, I really don't want to" Its a way of pausing for reflection, or debate. Hope this helps
