I'm looking for a good exercise or explanantion for our use of the word "though," when used as an intensive.
It is so natural for me to know when we do and don't use it in informal speech, that it is difficult to explain. Examples of the usage that he's questioning:
Speaker 1: Today would be a good day to go hiking.
Speaker 2: Isn't it supposed to rain, though?
Speaker 1: Maybe, but look outside...it's sunny.
Speaker 2: I bet it's raining in the valley, though.
Any help or formal explanations would be appreciated.
