USE OF ALTHOUGH:
-ALTHOUGH is a subordinate conjunction and is always followed by a clause.(as per OG explanations)==>ALTHOUGH X,Y(HERE X and Y ARE CLAUSES)
-ALTHOUGH always connects two clauses with a comma.(as per RON)
-NEVER use a conjunction and ALTHOUGH together to connect two clauses
ex: ALTHOUGH X,and Y ==>THIS IS WRONG.((HERE X and Y ARE CLAUSES)
- ALTHOUGH is generally followed by definite thing.....so probability words such as MAY BE,COULD BE,POSSIBLY...all these are wrong in ALTHOUGH CLAUSE(means clause X)(as per RON)
example:
Although they could afford household appliances their grandparents would find miraculous ===>this is wrong

Normally use of AND ALSO is always redundant.
there are some exceptions when it is correct.
CORRECT USAGE of AND ALSO:
"X and Y" is normally used to indicate two different things. (if you said "the first woman and the first Swedish writer", without the "also", that would normally imply 2 different people)
"X and also Y" is normally used to bestow two descriptions on the SAME person or thing .

MODALS:
there is something called MODAL verbs:
Verbs such as can, could,should, will, would, may, might are modal auxiliary verbs. Most modals are followed by the simple form of the verb (without "to")
example: i can do this///he can do this///they can do this.
i may not go///he may not go////they may not go.===>ALL PLURAL VERB.
i will do this///he will do this///they will do this.
i should do this///he should do this///they should do this.
