morning this might be the

3:47

perfect sentence for you I like my job

3:49

Oh waking up this hard though or you

3:53

could say I like my job

3:54

but waking up is hard though now that

3:58

you know how native speakers use though

4:00

in daily conversation let's talk about a

4:03

common mistake that I hear English

4:05

learners use all the time have you ever

4:07

said no it's raining I'm going to go

4:11

hiking anyway though I feel hesitant I'm

4:14

going to marry him anyway though plus

4:18

the rest of your sentence mm-hmm does

4:21

this look structurally different than

4:24

the other sentences what's the main

4:26

thing that you notice that's different

4:28

well though is at the beginning of the

4:30

sentence and this is something that is

4:33

too formal for daily conversations if

4:36

you want to use this in a formal email

4:38

maybe in a really formal presentation go

4:42

ahead no problem but I know a lot of you

4:44

use English just while you're traveling

4:46

or in daily conversations in less formal

4:48

situations so make sure that when you

4:51

use though you put it at the end of that

4:54

contrasting statement don't put it at

4:56

the beginning though I feel hesitant I'm

4:59

going to marry him anyway way too formal

5:03

not natural
