Why use though?

Though is often used in spoken English to give a

contrasting idea with the meaning of but or
however. It can be used by the same speaker to
contrast ideas or it can be used by a second
speaker to disagree in a “soft” way. When used
in this way though is often at the end of the
sentence.

Identify how they use though in the

conversation presented.
Sounds Right
More Examples:

➔ However; nevertheless:

Snow is not predicted; we can expect some rain, though.

➔ You can put even in front of though for emphasis.

She wore a coat, even though it was a very hot day.

➔ Regardless of the fact that; even though:

He still argues, though he knows he's wrong.

➔ Despite the fact that; although:

I guess deep down, I'm looking forward to the wedding

although there are a million things I have to do first.
Put it all in context!

It’s hard work, I enjoy it though.
