Read the following sentences.
- Although the café was crowded, we found a vacant table.

The clause with although can also come after the main clause.
For example: We found a vacant table, although the café was crowded. - Though I liked the pullover, I didn’t buy it.
Though it was pouring cats and dogs, he set out for his journey.
We can use though at the end of the sentence.
For example: I liked the pullover; I didn’t buy it, though. - We can use ‘even though’ in the same way.

‘Even though’ can be used at the beginning of the sentence also.

‘Even though’ is stronger and more emphatic than ‘although’ - We can join two clauses with ‘but’.
For example: We wanted to go abroad, but our passports were not ready.
We use these words (although, though, even though, but) to show the contrast between two clauses or two sentences.
