常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Though"?Which "Though" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×Though he is tired, but he will go.
✓Though he is tired, he will go.
在英文中，'though' 和 'but' 不能同時用於同一個句子中來連接兩個子句。使用其中一個即可。
×I like the idea. I'm not sure, though, it will work.
✓I like the idea. I'm not sure it will work, though.
當 'though' 用作副詞（表示『然而』）放在句尾時，通常置於逗號之後、句點之前，而不是插入在子句中間。
×Even though he studied hard, but he failed the exam.
✓Even though he studied hard, he failed the exam.
'Even though' 已經表達了強烈的讓步語氣，後面不應再使用 'but'。這與 'though' 的規則相同。
×He is nice. Though, he can be strict sometimes.
✓He is nice. He can be strict sometimes, though.
在英文中，'though' 作為副詞（表示『然而』）時，極少用於句首。它通常用於句尾或句中（較少），前面用逗號隔開。
×I enjoyed the movie, though the ending was confusing.
✓I enjoyed the movie, although the ending was confusing.
這裡語法上沒有錯誤，但 'though' 在這種正式或書面語境中較少用於句首。'Although' 更為正式且常用於句首。在句尾或句中時，'though' 更自然。本錯誤旨在展示文體選擇的常見困惑。
×It's a good plan. I have some doubts though.
✓It's a good plan. I have some doubts, though.
當 'though' 用作句尾副詞時，前面通常需要一個逗號，以將其與主要子句分開，使其語氣轉折更清晰。
