though
Hi,
Can we use the conjunction 'though' like this where a clause doesn't follow it but what follows is what seems to be a participle phrase?
Though been in the city for three years, he doesn't know how to go places.
Though been playing basketball for a long time, he doesn't play well.
Does what follows it always have to be a clause? The conjunction 'while' seems to work without having a clause following it.
I played tennis while chewing gum.
