Defintion and Using Thoughts (Conjunction)

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 +/- ...)
