Hello .. I am Niharika back with the new lesson for you ,
Today we are gonna look at the difference between...
Even though ..Even if ..even when ..even so ...now most of the people think that these
phrases can be used interchangeably..
However that's not the case ..there is a difference between these phrases and that what we are
going to learn in today's lesson.. so lets get started
Lets first understand the difference and then we will have look at some examples
so the first one i have for u is "Even though"..now even though means ..when u have definite outcome
..when some thing it refers to some thing that is definitetly happening..so it refers
to a definite out come .
Now lets have a look to the second phrase which is" Even if "Now even if refers to a
possible out come ,some thing that is imagined or a possible out come
The third phrase that we have for you is "Even when " now even when is reffered to something
that is occasionally done or some thing that has happened rarely .
And the last phrase that we have for you is "Even so "even so is usually used instead
of using the words 'But' OR 'However 'however it also displays the emotion of being surprised
or it displays unexpected results,so if u say a sentence you say ,even so it might display
a very unexpected result or even surprise OK so now lets quickly have a look at the
sentences here
Just before that let me right it down
Ok so the first example that i have for you over here is using the phase Even though
* Even though the interview went bad John got the job.
So here this has already happened its in the past ,now remember we used the phrase even
though either in the past ok something that has already happened or is currently happening
so we understand the tenses better when we use the word "Even though " when some thing
has already happened or is currently happening
so if u look at the example here " Even though the interview went bad John got the job"
it gives use an idea that the interview has already happened ok John is already been interviewed
and though it went bad he still got the job ,so here got the job is a definete outcome
ok,so that exactly the reason that we have used the phrase "even though "
Now lets have a look at the second example here
* Even if wins the lottery he won't have enough money ..so here we saw that the phrase "Even
if" refers to a possible outcome some thing that we have imagined.so here when we say
even if he wins the lottery ,so there is a rare chance of he winning the lottery OK we
are just imagined that he may OR he may not win a lottery
so probably he is so poor or probably he has lot of loans he is in debt so even if he wins
lottery he still wont have enough money for him self .
so here we are using the phrase "Even if "he wins the lottery is a very possible outcome
it may it may not you are just imagining alright.
The third one that i have for you is Even when i talk slowly,She doesn't understand
now even when refers to some thing that just ocasionly or rarely happens , so if you look
at this exampe here "Even when i talk slowly,She doesn't understand "so
usually when you try to explain something in a very slow manner ok when we talk slowly
its inevitable that the person will understand you , but here she doesn't understand
so which mean that it just happens rarely you know not ..it doesn't happen with everybody
so this is just a rare case that ever when i talk slowly she doesn't understand
so here "Even when" is used the reason because this happens rarely ok
usually when u talk slow when you are explaining something slowly the person understand but
here she doesn't ok.
And then the last sentence that i have for u here is
She is loud and unfriendly.
Even so ,I like her . usually the people who are extremely loud
and who are unfriendly ok who doesn't talk to you properly they have
lot of attitude we do not like such people isn't it but here if you see we are using
the phrase "even so " instead of using the word "But" and "However " and its also displaying
the emotions of surprise so its quite surprising that she is loud and unfriendly and you still
like her so its pretty much an unexpected result right .so that is why we are using
this phrase "Even so "
so lets quickly revise this
Even though is used its refers to a definite outcome
where as
Even if is a possible outcome ok ,it may it/ may not you are just imagining
the third one is
Even when some things that happens rarely or occasionally
And the last one is
Even so is used instead of using "But" and " However"and of course it display's emoting
of surprise alright
Now so that i know that you have really understood this lesson please go ahead and take a test
