（一）although的语势比though强，大都用于正式的文体，指已成立的事实；though 的语势较弱，一般指设想和假定的情况。

例：He wouldn't take an umbrella although it was already raining．虽然当时已在下雨，他还是不愿意拿雨伞。

He wouldn't take an umbrella though it should rain cats and dogs．虽然有可能会下大雨，他还是不愿意拿雨伞。

在西方，不少学者认为，although是though的强调式，正如until是till的强调式；upon 是on的强调式一样。

（二）although在句中大都放在句首的位置，如放在句中（如上面一例），则表示强调的意味；though放在句首和句中均可（如上面一例，可将though it should rain cats and dogs 移至句首）。

though若要加强语势时，可将位置移后形成倒装，例如：Though he is young，…改为Young though he is，…；Though he is poor，…改为Poor though he may be，…；但不能用although。

（三）although 只能作连词使用；though除作连词外，还可用作副词，表示“然而”、“但是”等义，这时候，though一般放在句末。

例：Annie's grandfather loves to smoke．And he likes beer too．It's impossible for him to live to be 100．It was true，though．安妮的祖父喜欢抽烟，又喜欢饮啤酒，他不可能活到一百岁，然而，这却是真的，他活到了一百岁。

值得注意的是，中国学生由于受汉语“虽然…但是…”的影响，常犯though（although）之后与but连用的错误，但是之后可与nevertheless，still连用。

见下例：Though be was ill，but he went to school．（错）Though he was ill，he went to school．（对）如果说话人一定要强调“但是”之意，可以在he went to school之前加个副词yet。

另一点要注意的是，词组as though、even though的though不能改作although，因为它们是固定词组。

在近代英语中，though作连词使用时，与although 的差别已有日渐缩小的倾向，一般说来，though比although使用得普遍得多。
