Even though...

Hi there,

Can I please confirm (or otherwise) that the phrase 'even though' in the following sentence is an adverb?

'Even though she hated broccoli, she still ate it.'

Many thanks :0

No; it's a conjunction: conjunction 1. (used in introducing a subordinate clause) notwithstanding that; in spite of the fact that; although: Even though he tried very hard, he failed the course .

Thank you Mr M.

I saw a blog saying that it was an adverb, which is why I've asked here. I didn't make full sense ( Emotion: zip it! )
