§Grammar and usage
Avoid 'though ... but' or 'though ... yet' in the same sentence (except 'though ... yet' is accepted in older formal English); though can come at the end of a sentence ('It's hard, though'), but although cannot; 'even though' is stronger; 'as though' (as if: 'She looked as though she had seen a ghost').
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: एक ही वाक्य में 'though ... but' या 'though ... yet' से बचें (पुरानी औपचारिक English में 'though ... yet' स्वीकार्य है); though वाक्य के अंत में आ सकता है ('It's hard, though'), पर although नहीं; 'even though' अधिक सशक्त है; 'as though' (मानो: 'She looked as though she had seen a ghost')।
