Sentence: Tired though / as / that she was, she went to bed early.

[Ofriendragon]

This kind of structures are often tested, and I feel puzzled about them.

1. Patient though /as / that / he was, he was unwilling to wait three hours.

2. Hard though /as / that / she tried, she failed to pass the exam.

3. Tired though /as / that / she was, she went to bed early.

4. Tired though /as / that / she was, she sat up studying last night.

5. Cold though /as / that /it is, the children are playing outside.

6. Poor though /as / that / they were, they gave money charity.

Here the intended meanings of "though /as / that /" are "Even though/though". Are the above sentences correct?

Many thanks in advance.

as....would appear to be the most apt answer to all of your examples.

Tired as
Patient as
Poor as

All would be acceptable.
