Hey Natália,
I believe that you wonder whether you should use ''though'' and ''but'' in sentences, is that right? Well then, I shall provide you an explanation over the usage of them, as follows:
1) ''But'' = You usually use ''but'' to introduce something that contrasts with what you have just said. In this case, ''but'' gets the meaning of ''on the contrary''; ''yet''.
E.g.: ''It was a long walk but it was worth it.''
E.g.: ''I try to understand, but I can't.''
* You may also use ''but'' to link adjectives or adverbs that contrast with each other.
E.g.: ''We stayed in a small but comfortable hotel.''
E.g.: ''Quickly but silently she ran out of the room.''
** ''But'' can also be used to mean ''except'' or ''only.'' For example:
''There was no time for anything but work.''
''He had lived nowhere but the farm.''
''She loved no one but herself.''
2) ''Though'' = The word ''though'' means the same as ''despite the fact that''; ''although''; ''even if''; ''however.''
You use ''though'' to introduce a subordinate clause in which you mention something that contrasts with what you are saying in the main clause. ''Though'' is not used in very formal English.
E.g.: ''I can't play the piano - I took lessons for years, though.''
E.g.: ''She wore a coat, even though it was a very hot day.''
* ''Though'' is also used when you are making a statement that contrasts with what you have just said. You usually put ''though'' after the first phrase in the sentence.
E.g.: ''Fortunately though, this is a story with a happy ending.''
** In conversation, you can also put ''though'' at the end of a sentence.
E.g.: ''I can't stay. I'll have a coffee though.''
E.g.: ''I don't like going for walks very often. I'll walk a bit, though.''
Hope that helps!!!
