Best option with using a clause with "although"
|
|
Hello everybody, I have this sentence to rewrite using "Although" - I like to go to bed late, but it is difficult to get up early in the morning. What is the best option: - Although I like to go to bed early, it is difficult to get up early in the morning. OR - Although it is difficult to get up early in the morning, I like to go to bed late. Thanks in advance for all your help. Have a great Sunday. Scoutteach (The teacher who is also a scouts leader) |

Both options are definitely correct (except that you accidentally put "early" instead of "late" in the first one), but I like the second one a little better. Bruce |

Thank you Bruce for your help. This example is driving me completely nuts, so I am so sorry for switching the words. Thanks once again. |

When teaching contrast clauses, I usually give the students the following example/schema: It was raining hard (fact 1) but I went outside without an umbrella (fact 2). fact 1 BUT fact 2. ALTHOUGH fact 1, fact 2. Although it was raining hard, I went outside without an umbrella. It usually works. |
