1. 用although / though引導：although與though雖然拼寫不同，但意思相同，都表示「雖然」，常可互換。如：Though they are twins, they look entirely different. 他們雖是孿生，但是相貌卻完全不同。Although she didn’t say anything I sensed (that) she didn’t like the idea. 她雖然什麼也沒說但我已意識到她不喜歡這個主意。
注意，不要按漢語習慣說although…but…。如：儘管她父親在公司裡，但她那份工作卻是靠自己得到的。誤：Although her father is in the firm, but she got the job on her own.正：Although her father is in the firm, she got the job on her own.
2. as 作「雖然」解，引導讓步狀語從句時，從句中的狀語、表語或動詞必須置於句首，though 引導的讓步狀語從句，也可將這些成分置於句首，但 although 等其它詞引導的讓步狀語從句不能將這些成分前置。如：Hard as/though they tried (=Although/Though they tried hard), they couldn’t make her change her mind. 儘管他們做了很大努力，卻沒法讓她改變主意。引導讓步狀語從句時，若提前的是可數名詞單數，要省略不定冠詞。如：Child as he is, he knows a lot. 雖然他是孩子，但他卻很懂事了。
3. 用even though / even if引導：even though和even if意思相同，均表示「即使」，常可互換。如：Even though you have a lot of money, I won’t love you. 即使你有很多錢，我也不會愛你。Even if you saw him pick up the money, you can’t be sure he stole it. 就算你看見是他拾起的錢，你也不能肯定錢就是他偷的。
4. 用whether…or引導：whether…or…的意思是「無論……還是……」「不管……還是……」。如：I』ll do it whether you like it or not. 不管你是否喜歡，我都要做。Whether we help him or not, he will fail. 不論我們幫助他與否， 他都將失敗。
5. 用特殊詞引導：除上面提到的最常用的引導讓步狀語從句的詞語外，有時還可用那些以-ever結尾的詞語來引導，如whatever, whoever, however, whenever, wherever等，它們的意思與no matter what, no matter who, no matter how, no matter when, no matter where等，意思是「無論什麼」「無論是誰」「無論多麼」「無論什麼時候」「無論什麼地方」等。如：
Whatever you say, I believe you. 無論你說什麼，我都相信你。Whoever telephones, tell them I’m out. 不管是誰打電話，都說我出去了。However much he eats, he never gets fat. 無論他吃多少，他都不發胖。
6.另外，還有一個大家比較熟悉的詞也可引導讓步狀語從句，那就是while，它除了表示「當……時候」外，還可表示「儘管」「雖然」，此時引導的是讓步狀語從句。如：While we don’t agree we continue to be friends. 儘管我們意見不同，我們還是朋友。表示「雖然」的連詞不能與表示「但是」的連詞 but 連用，但可以 yet 或 still 等副詞連用。如：誤：Though it was raining, but he went there.正：Though it was raining, he went there.正：It was raining, but he went there.正：Though it was raining, yet he went there.
