    Even though / even if
    Message from otioni posted on 09-02-2009 at 03:45:24 (D | E | F)

    Hi,

    My name is Ruth, I am from Indonesia.
    I feel so much helped with this website. I help me to refresh my grammer knowledges.
    My test result of 21660 is not so good and the big problem is I can not differentiate utilisation of "even though" and "even if".

    Could you explain it?

    thanks,
    Ruth

    Even though = malgré le fait que

    They lost the game. But even though they lost it, they can feel proud of their effort.

    Even if = même au cas où

    They may or may not have lost the game. But even if they lost it, they can feel proud of their effort.

    hello

    Here is a link.
    Lien Internet


    Even if

    We use « even if » to express both a condition and a contrast.
    « I'm going to finish this report even if it takes all night.»

    That means : this report may or may not take all night, but I'm going to finish it.

    Even though

    « Even though » is more emphatic than « although »
    « They allowed me to continue the course even though I failed the first-year exams.»

    Compare « even if » and « even though »

    Even if the rumour is untrue, people will still believe it.
    (The rumour may or may not be true)

    Even though the rumour is untrue, people will still believe it.
    ( The rumour is untrue)

    Hello..

    Question of grammar:

    - Even if : même si (condition..)(cela ne m'empêchera pas d'agir)(I'll do it all the same)

    - Even though (concession) : malgré le fait que, même si pourtant,quoique.(et il faut "faire avec"; we've got to do with it, anyway))
