Though
Is the use of though correct here?
We had a big fight and he just took off. He might come back tomorrow though, but I doubt it.
Top answer
"though" and "but I doubt it" don't go together well. The former contrasts "might come back" with "he just took off", with the effect of reinforcing the idea that he might return, while the latter emphasises the lack of expectation. Use one or the other.
