Mifta: hi oman what do you think of the teacher teaching distance learning

 Oman: I think the teacher who teaches distance learning is very incomprehensible to what he is discussing

 Mifta: Ah yes, I agree because it's not a good idea to understand the material being discussed

 Oman: but what else can we not be able to learn face to face with the teacher because it is a pandemic like this, then what do you think we should do?

 Mifta: Yes, like it or not, we have to be patient until this pandemic is over and we have to stay in school, even though we don't face the teacher directly

 Oman:I think that's a good idea. It's okay, we still have to keep the spirit of the school

 Mifta: If that I agree

THOUGHT

Defintion and Using Thoughts (Conjunction)

Though as a conjunction (conjunction) starts an adverbial clause and relates it to the main clause in a complex sentence. The adverbial clause can be in front or in the middle of a sentence. If in front of a sentence, a comma is usually pinned afterwards to separate it from the main clause.

Though at the Beginning of Sentence:

adverbial clause (though + S + V +/- ...) +, + main clause (S + V +/- ...)

Thoughts at the End of Sentences:

main clause (S + V +/- ...) + adverbial clause (though + S + V +/- ...)
