although
Introduces a subordinate clause that states a contrast or circumstance that could actually prevent the situation described in the main clause. It means 'obwohl' (although) and is used mainly in written or formal language.
Sie ging spazieren, obgleich es stark regnete.
She went for a walk although it was raining heavily.
'Obgleich' (although) introduces a subordinate clause; the conjugated verb comes at the end of the subordinate clause.
Obgleich der Weg weit war, gingen sie zu Fuß.
Although the way was long, they went on foot.
Er blieb freundlich, obgleich er sehr müde war.
He remained friendly although he was very tired.
When the 'obgleich' (although) clause comes first, the conjugated verb follows directly in the main clause; the subordinate clause occupies the first position.
Obgleich sie wenig Zeit hatte, half sie ihrem Bruder bei den Hausaufgaben.
Although she had little time, she helped her brother with his homework.
The subordinate clause introduced by 'obgleich' (although) is separated from the main clause by a comma, regardless of whether it comes before or after the main clause.
Wir fuhren los, obgleich der Wetterbericht vor Sturm gewarnt hatte.
We set off although the weather report had warned of a storm.
