Hello there!!

Are you fine? You better be careful next time~

About your question, let us talk about the the adverb \"even\".

There are three normal positions for adverbs in a sentence:

1) initial position (before the subject)
2) mid position (between the subject and the verb or immediately after be as a main verb) or
3) end position (at the end of the clause).

mid position

Focusing adverbs (e.g. just, even), adverbs of indefinite frequency (e.g. often, always, never) and adverbs of certainty and degree (e.g probably, obviously, clearly, completely, quite, almost) all favor this position. Note that when auxiliary verbs (e.g. is, has, will, was) are used, they normally go between the auxiliary verb and the main verb:

>>She\'s been everywhere - she\'s even been to Tibet and Nepal.
On the other hand, this is the difference between even if and even though:

The grammatical expression \'even though\' can be used with various verb tenses and has the same meaning as the word \'although\'. For example:

Even though I was invited to the party, I didn\'t go.

I will work overtime this weekend even though I don\'t want to.

Even though my friend isn\'t good at singing, he always sings a lot at karaoke.

However, \'even if\' is usually used to talk about what you will do at a future time despite something which might go against your plan. For example:

Even if my ex-girlfriend is at the party, I\'m going to go.

I won\'t work overtime this weekend even if my boss asks me to.

Even if my company offers me a promotion, I won\'t take it.

Please note that \'even if\' is usually used with a future situation and that the situation on which the decision is based is only a possibility. Therefore, with the examples above, it\'s only POSSIBLE the ex-girlfriend will be at the party, that the boss will ask the person to work overtime and that the company will offer the person a promotion. These things MIGHT happen, but they\'re not certain.

Enjoy your day!^^
