English Grammar Pattern 90
(1) Although + (2) Sentence A + (3) Sentence B
Model Sentence(1) Although (2) I don't understand English perfectly, (3) I can still have many conversations!
Grammar Pattern 90 can be used to connect two very different ideas. Both "though" and "although" are the same as "but", except they are a bit more formal and can be used at the beginning of a sentence. ("But" should only be used in the middle of a sentence.) "Even though" is simply a stronger version of "though" and "although". In every case, the meaning is still the same as "but", only the positioning within the sentence is different.
Pronunciation Practice - Repeat each sentence out loud!
1. We continued to walk in the park even though it was raining.

4. Although I am not rich, I am happy with my life.
5. Even though I have had trouble, I have never given up.
