Hello Kimlong ,

Nice to have you as a websitemate here!

"As if & as though"[hak douchea] :wink:  are used before a clause to show manners.
Ex: She talked to me as though i was her son.
      They feel as though they are going to be in trouble.
      He behaved as if he owned the place.

" Although & though"[beu tuos bey] are used before a class to show concessions or contrast.
Form: Although/though S + Verb, S + Verb
         or S + Verb...+ although/though + S + Verb

Ex: Although I tried to learn grammer, I still ended up not being to speak English better.
or   I still ended up not being to speak English better although I tried to learn grammer.      
    Though you make a mistake, we don't mind it at all. -> We don't mind it at all though you make a mistake.
If this is not clear, please let me know.
Have fun!

Hi all  

As if/though are used to describe how a situation seems to be

She talked to me as if/though I was her son.
In reality, I'm not her son. That's why we use Past tense (I was...)

Although/even though is formal but Though is more informal (the same meaning)

It might be bad, though. we can't use although/even though here because though is an adverb, not conjunction in this senence.

Just some ideas
