ถึงแม้ พายุ รุนแรง เขา ก็ คง เดินทาง ครับ

Questions & Answers about ถึงแม้ พายุ รุนแรง เขา ก็ คง เดินทาง ครับ

Why do we use คง here instead of just จะ?
Using คง means 'probably' or 'likely,' showing that the speaker is guessing or assuming what will happen. If we only used จะ (will), it would state a definite fact. You could also use คงจะ here with exactly the same meaning: เขาก็คงจะเดินทางครับ.
Why is there a ก็ in the second half of the sentence?
In Thai, when you start a sentence with ถึงแม้ (even though), the second clause almost always needs ก็ to link the two ideas. It acts as a bridge, similar to saying 'Even though the storm is severe, he still travels.'
What is the correct word order for ก็ and คง?
ก็ usually comes immediately after the subject of the second clause (เขา). Then comes the probability modal คง (or คงจะ), followed by the main verb เดินทาง. So the pattern is: Subject + ก็ + คง + Verb.
Why is there no word for 'is' in the phrase พายุรุนแรง (the storm is severe)?
In Thai, adjectives like รุนแรง (severe/violent) can act as verbs all by themselves. Because it already functions as a stative verb, you do not need to add a 'to be' word like เป็น or คือ before it.
