Usage notes

  • Even though is almost identical in meaning with plain though or although; the main difference is that even though is more emphatic, putting stronger emphasis on the contrast between the two clauses it connects.
  • Unlike plain though, even though generally only connects clauses; one can typically hear constructions like "He is friendly, though quiet", with "He was friendly, even though quiet" being quite rare.
