When do we use though? Why some people put though in the last of some sentences ?

4 Ways to Use 'Though' 1. As a conjunction towards the beginning of the sentence: E.g. “Though I do not usually drink coffee, I have had 2 cups today.” 2. At the end of the sentence E.g. “I already ate. Thanks, though!” In the example above ‘though’ takes on the same meaning as the words ‘anyway’, ‘regardless’ and ‘nonetheless’. We use ‘though’ or ‘anyway’ with the word ‘thank you’ to express appreciation, even if the action is not necessary anymore or cannot be completed. 3. In place of ‘however’ or ‘but’ E.g. “I do not usually drink coffee, though I’ve had 2 cups today.” Used after a comma, in the middle of a sentence, the word ‘though’ (or ‘although’) can be used to mean the same as “I do not usually drink coffee, but/however* I have had 2 cups today.” 4. With the word ‘as’ E.g. “He acted as though he were angry.” The phrase “as though” in this situation is used in the same way as the word ‘like’: “He acted like he was angry.” Let’s take a look at another example: It looked as though it was going to rain. It looked like it was going to rain.
