✏️ Tutor's Editing Place

 

My vocabulary is weak, so I can't think of words, so I'm slow at forming sentences.

I don't usually use English well, so I still feel awkward.

I want accurate sentence structure and pronunciation correction rather than various expressions.

 

Intros:

 

Living in Korea/ Apply for a language support programme at the company (Ringle) / I will study English step-by-step and I hope this programme helps me and when I go on a trip and go to college for scholarship abroad later.

 

How can I blur background?

There are words that native speakers normally use that I couldn't quite understand. I would like to hear an explanation on when and in what situations to use this word. 'though' I have seen many cases where everything is said and then just added at the end of the sentence without much meaning. Do you frequently use the adverb in daily convos?

-> There are words commonly used by native speakers that I find difficult to understand. I would like an explanation of when and how to use the word 'though.' I often see it added at the end of sentences without much apparent meaning. Is this adverb frequently used in everyday conversations?

 

THOUGH:

 

"Though" is often used to introduce a subordinate clause that contrasts with the main clause. It can be placed at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence.

 

The weather is really bad today, but I wanted to go to a restaurant though.

 

Though the weather is bad, I want to go to a restaurant

 

I want to go to a restaurant even though the weather is bad.

 

I want to do x even THOUGH y is a problem

 

Why do you like this job though?

Why do you like this job though?

-> Why do you like this job

-> THE FUNCTION OF 'THOUGH' IS BECAUSE THEY WANT MORE INFORMATION

 

Example:

 

Beginning of the Sentence:

• Sentence: "Though it was raining, we decided to go for a walk."
• Explanation: This sentence contrasts the bad weather with the decision to go for a walk, indicating that despite the rain, the action was taken.

Middle of the Sentence:

• Sentence: "We decided to go for a walk, though it was raining."
• Explanation: Here, "though" introduces the contrasting idea (it was raining) after the main clause (we decided to go for a walk).

ETYMOLOGY:
