Hi everyone!
Today's grammar tip comes from a fun and great English Blog created by Kaplan International Colleges. In this post, you can find what the difference between However and Although is. So here it is for all of you:
However and although are two English words that both loosely mean “but”. Unfortunately, knowing exactly when you should use however vs although is something that most native English speakers would struggle to explain.
The difference between “however” and “although”
The main difference between these two words is that however can stand by itself at the beginning of a sentence, with a comma after it. Although can’t do this.
The words also have slightly different meanings:
Although means “in spite of the fact that…”.
However means “but”.
The actual rules about whether to use however or although are quite complicated, but there is an easy rule that works in almost all situations... Read the full post and find some exercises here!
