Is this a correct English sentence?

Although, I'm not very clear about the reason, but that's where the problem lies.

Can 'although' and 'but' be used together in one sentence?

Best Answer

Although and But, both can be used to introduce a statement that make your main sentence surprising

It's an old car, but it's very reliable

Although it is an old car, it's very reliable.

But in your sentence, you used both of them together, as

Although it is an old car, but it's very reliable.

This can be grammatical in some languages (like Persian) and it may provides more emphasis in those languages, but you actually don't need both of them in English.
