although引导的从句放在主句前后均可,有时还可放在句中.例如:
Although many difficulties are still ahead, we are determined to make greater achievements. 尽管在前面的道路上还有许多困难,但是,我们决心要取得更大的成就.
He often helps me with my English although he is quite busy. 尽管他相当忙,但是还常常帮我学英语.
although引导的从句不能与but, however连用,但可与yet, still连用.不能说:Although he was old, but he worked hard. 应把but去掉.当然,保留but而去Although也可.
在让步状语从句中,although一般可以用though和while来替换.
在时间,条件,地点,方式,让步等状语从句中,如果从句主语和主句主语相同,或者从句主语是it时,从句的主语和谓语动词的一部分经常省略。例如Although (he was ) tired,Tom kept on working till late at night.
