Though (Conjungtion)

Though as a conjunction ( conjunction ) starts an adverbial clause and relates it to the main clause in a complex sentence .The adverbial clause can be in front or in the middle of a sentence. If in front of a sentence, a comma is usually pinned afterwards to separate it from the main clause.

Though at the Beginning of Sentence:

adverbial clause (though + S + V +/- ...) + , + main clause (S + V +/- ...)

Thoughts at the End of Sentences:

main clause (S + V +/- ...) + adverbial clause (though + S + V +/- ...)

This conjunction is used in a statement (adverbial clause) which makes the main statement (main clause) sound surprising or surprising. The meaning is "despite of the fact that" (despite the fact that). Synonymously although (though).

In addition, although it can also be used to add facts or opinions that cause the previous statement (main clause) to be less true (less true), less strong (less strong), or less important (less important).

Apart from being a conjunction , although it can also be used as an adverb ( adverb ).

Example :

- Though it was cold and windy, he went outside without a coat.

(Although cold and windy, he goes outside without a coat.) Surprising

-The guide seemed nice even though she spoke very little English. 

(The guide looked good, even though his English skills were limited.) Surprising

- We all liked the food very much even though the potatoes were definitely undercooked.

(We all love the food even though the potatoes are clearly undercooked.)

Though (Adverb)

Though as an adverb ( adverb ) the meaning is similar to "however", "despite this", or "nevertheless" (but; nevertheless).

This adverb is used when wanting to express  contrast with the previous statement. Though placed in the middle or end of a sentence to make a statement before become less important (less important). In informal situations this word is sometimes written as tho .

Apart from being an adverb , though it can also be used as a conjunction.

Example : 

- His joint pain and stiffness disappeared. Not for long, though

(Pain and stiffness in the joints disappear. But not for long.)

-The speaker was nervous. Only at the beginning of his presentation  though

(The speaker is nervous. But only the presentation starts.)

- He couldn't see a path for his future career. He didn't give up, though .

(He cannot see the way to his future career. Nevertheless he is not hopeless.)

Example Dialogue :

Della   : Did he buy something?

Pinkan : Yes, he buy Play Station 4.

Della   : Every person has their own though about something

Pinkan : But it wasteful.
