Although...

Hi,

-->This is the sentence I wrote: The robot is still popular although it is expensive.

My classmate wrote: The robot is expensive although it is still popular.

What he wrote was wrong, but I couldn't exactly tell what was incorrect. I didn't know HOW to say it. Now I'm a little confused... Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

The sentence you wrote is based on the premise that expensive things are not usually popular, or at least not as popular as inexpensive things. The sentence your classmate wrote is based on the premise that popular things are not usually expensive, or at least not as expensive as unpopular things. For most people the premise that supports the logic of your sentence would seem more reasonable than the premise of your classmate's sentence.

  • The sentence you wrote is based on the premise that expensive things are not usually popular, or at least not as popular as inexpensive things.
