What is the Difference Between

“EVEN,” “EVEN THOUGH,” and “EVEN WHEN”?

EVEN IS AN ADVERB THAT INTENSIFIES. IT CAN MODIFY NOUNS OR VERBS.

can be dangerous.

This person doesn’t have much money. He doesn’t even have enough money for a
bus ticket.

EVEN THOUGH IS FOLLOWED BY A (S+ V) AND MAKES A DEPENDENT


CLAUSE. IT SHOWS A SURPRISING OPPOSITION.

surprising.)

worry about looking stupid?)

shocked! That’s dangerous!)

CONDITIONS. IT USES UNREAL PRESENT AND PAST CONDITIONAL
PATTERNS.
