No, “although” is not a preposition. It is a conjunction.
Function of “Although” as a Conjunction:
- Introducing a Contrasting or Concessive Clause
- Although the restaurant was busy, the service was excellent.
- He upgraded the POS system, although the old one was still functional.
- Used to Contrast Ideas
- Although she prefers tea, she ordered coffee.
- They enjoyed their meal, although the wait time was long.
Why “Although” Is Not a Preposition
- Prepositions (e.g., in, on, under, about) show relationships between a noun/pronoun and another part of the sentence.
- “Although” does not do this; instead, it introduces a subordinate clause, making it a conjunction.
Thus, “although” is a conjunction, not a preposition.
