though

/ðoʊ/

conjunctionadverbthough

Think: TH + OUGH = “TH-oh” — the long O sound wins, and the rest stays silent.

Yes, it's though. In though, the OUGH makes a long /oʊ/ sound (not /ʌf/ like tough or /aʊ/ like bough).

Definitions

  1. conjunctionDespite the fact that; even though.
  2. adverbHowever; nevertheless (often placed at the end of a sentence).

Examples

  • “Though it was raining, we still went to the park.”
  • “I don’t like olives; I’ll eat them on pizza, though.”
  • “Though she felt nervous, she spoke clearly in front of the class.”
