To me, “even if’ suggests that I haven’t yet tried it, but even if I did try it, it wouldn’t work. If I apply for that job, I might be successful: a fairly hopeful thought. Even if I apply for that job, I likely won’t get it: a negative thought.

  • To me, “even if’ suggests that I haven’t yet tried it, but even if I did try it, it wouldn’t work.
  • If I apply for that job, I might be successful: a fairly hopeful thought.
  • Even if I apply for that job, I likely won’t get it: a negative thought.
  • Even though I applied for that job, I didn’t get it: a conclusion, factual summary.
  • Even though I plan to apply for that job, I won’t get it: a negative thought So “even though” means despite doing something, the outcome is expected to be negative.
