It's good that we can use synonyms to stop our writing being filled with "though." Though I had to stay home all week, I was still content. They say you should exercise a few times a week, though that is easier said than done.

@@Englishwithjennifer Yes, the difference between spoken English and written English is an interesting topic in itself. "Whereas"is another one I could try and add to my writing more often.

Good mornig , Mam! Is it compulsory to use comme before and after however when it comes in the middle of sentence? If this is true could you explain the reason?

@Englishwithjennifer 2 жыл бұрын

"However" is a conjunctive adverb. You're connecting two complete ideas together, but you're expressing a contrast. Coordinating conjunctions like "but" only need a comma. A conjunctive adverb can start a new sentence, appear in the middle or end of a sentence (with the help of a comma), or it can join the second sentence to the first with the help of a semicolon and comma. Examples here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9BiZ6pzmdTSYnU.html

@maryamjaved4849 2 жыл бұрын

Hello mam, Though and however both are used for contrast . but I don't know about the punctuation of them . as we place two commas if however comes in the middle of sentence like this , however, May we do the same with though. While I was reading news paper, I find this sentence in which though is used without commas. Ex. The trouble with harbouring excessive hope with two diplomats though is that the process of their clearance by the senate could stretch by September

@Englishwithjennifer 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, "though" can be used in the middle of the sentence. I recommend commas. Click through examples here on YouGlish. youglish.com/pronounce/though/english/all/cptc=1 You'll see uses of "even though," but focus on "though" when it functions more like "however." In nearly all of the captions, commas are used to separate it. It seems to be the preferred pattern.

Vowels are voiced sounds in words that we make without stopping the flow of air as it comes out of our mouth. In contrast, consonants require us to obstruct the airflow different ways. kzfaq.info/sun/PL4B28722936C871E8 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lduaYK2C0JawdWg.html
