Although – Even though. English ESL Worksheets. English grammar with exercises. Free eBook and Free printable PDF
Although and even though are two conjunctions that are used to show contrast.
Though these two terms have similar meanings and are used in similar grammatical contexts, there is a slight difference between although and even though.
He kept singing loudly even though I told him to stop several times.
He kept singing loudly although I told him to stop several times.
Although and even though are two conjunctions that indicate contrast.
Both of them have the same meaning.
Both these two conjunctions follow a clause, i.e., a subject and a verb.
Even though is slightly stronger and emphatic than although.
However, these two conjunctions can be used interchangeably in most contexts:
Although he is much older than me, he looks younger.
Even though he is much older than me, he looks younger.
