It is warm there, even in winter. <\/b> (So you can be sure it will be very warm there in summer.)<\/p>\n

Even a child <\/b>can understand this book. (Therefore you can be sure it is a simple one.)<\/p>\n

Position<\/h3>\n

Even <\/b>most often goes in mid position (after auxiliary verbs and is\/am\/are\/was\/were; before other verbs).<\/p>\n

    \n
  • He is rude to everybody. He is even rude<\/b> to the police. (NOT Even he is — or He even is —)<\/li>\n
  • It puzzled even<\/b> the experts. (NOT It even puzzled — or Even it puzzled —)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Even <\/b>goes at the beginning of a clause when it refers just to the subject.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Even a child <\/b>can solve this problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It is also possible to put even<\/b> before other words and expressions that we want to emphasise.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • I work every day, even on Sundays.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Not even <\/b>is used to talk about a negative extreme.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • He can\u2019t even write <\/b>his own name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Even if and even though<\/h3>\n

          We can use even<\/b> before if <\/b>and though<\/b>.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • I will go even if (though) <\/b>you forbid me to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Even so<\/h3>\n

            Even so <\/b>means in spite of that<\/i>, however<\/i>.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • The book is expensive, but even so <\/b>you ought to buy it. (NOT — even though you ought to buy it.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
