signifie « par contre », « pourtant » ou « cependant » et se trouve souvent en fin de phrase.

Exemple : He hardly worked, I know ; but he succeeded, though. ➜ Je sais qu’il a à peine travaillé ; mais qu’il a pourtant réussi.

Si « though » ne se trouve pas en fin de phrase, c’est qu’il s’agit d’une conjonction de restriction. Les principalesconjonctions de restriction sont « though » (quoique), « even though » (même si), « unless » (à moins que), « but » (sans que).

Exemple : I must blame him, though he is my friend and you are not. ➜ Je ne peux que le blâmer bien qu’il soit mon ami et que tu ne le sois pas.

Q

Par contre en fin de phrase

A

Though

signifie « par contre », « pourtant » ou « cependant » et se trouve souvent en fin de phrase.

Exemple : He hardly worked, I know ; but he succeeded, though. ➜ Je sais qu’il a à peine travaillé ; mais qu’il a pourtant réussi.

Si « though » ne se trouve pas en fin de phrase, c’est qu’il s’agit d’une conjonction de restriction. Les principalesconjonctions de restriction sont « though » (quoique), « even though » (même si), « unless » (à moins que), « but » (sans que).

Exemple : I must blame him, though he is my friend and you are not. ➜ Je ne peux que le blâmer bien qu’il soit mon ami et que tu ne le sois pas.
