Hallo Can anyone explain the difference between "though" and "although" Thanks in advance Terry > Hallo > Can anyone explain the difference between "though" and "although" They mean the same, but "although" is more formal. Adrian > "Terence" wrote in message >> Can anyone explain the difference between "though" and "although" > > They mean the same, but "although" is more formal. "Although" being more formal is not all, though. Both are conjunctions, but only "though" can also be an adverb.  SignatureSkitt (in Hayward, California) http://www.geocities.com/opus731/ >>Hallo >>Can anyone explain the difference between "though" and "although" > > They mean the same, but "although" is more formal. You can't use "although" as a tag, though.

One may use "although" in formal writing, of course, but "though" is not usually allowed if a copy editor sees it. -- Franke: EFL teacher & medical editor Native speaker of American English; posting from Taiwan.
