Usage of 'Though' in a sentence
Salaam and Hi.
I've read somewhere on the net that 'though' and 'but' cannot be used together in a sentence. I think I am okay with that.
However, it also stated that 'but' is used in the middle of a sentence whereas 'though' is used in the beginning of sentences.
This is quite confusing. I mean, I always hear & read people using 'though' at the end of sentences. Is it wrong? I thought people start a sentence with 'although', not 'though'.
Thank you~

I suppose they mean in the limited case of one concession clause and one main clause, but I'm sure there are other situations: 'I was tired but happy, though I had jogged only 3 kilometers.'
