Though, Even though, Although followed by still

Even though he has a great potential to complete the task, he still can't work on the task because he has not been selected to work on this task.

Though he he has all the things that are needed to serve the people whom he meet, he still need to need to add some more things to his basket to serve efficiently.

Although she has the some beautiful clothes to wear, but she still need some accessories in order to get a great look.

Even though he has the money to give to them, he still can't offer it to anyone until he gets the permission from his senior.

Though he was not interested do that activity, he still managed to take part in it.


Can we write the sentences like above that has Though, Even though, Although followed by still? If yes do we need to use all the time or is there any context in which we shouldn't use still?

Whats the difference between though and Even though or Although?

Please help me understand the concept.

Thanks,

As far as I can think, "though", "even though" and "although" are interchangeable in meaning when they occur at the start of a sentence. There may be usage differences however; for example, "though" is not used much in that position in conversational English. Whichever you choose, "still" is optional.

Wonder123It's just a sentence that came to my mind, what are the other ways to write this sentence to make it sound more natural?
I need to understand more about the situation you have in mind. Who is this person? Where is he? What is he doing? Who is going to give him permission?

People don't normally wander around the streets "serving" fruit to people they bump into. Possibly you mean he is selling fruit? Also, people do not have "owners" (unless they are slaves). You could perhaps say:
