Perbedaan dengan because :
Even tough dan Altough mengekspresikan sebuah hasil yang berlawanan atau tidak diharapkan >>>
Even tough I was tired, I did not stop working
I did not stop working, even tough I was tired
Altough I was tired, I did not stop working
I did not stop working, altough I was tired
Maksudnya : kondisi I was tired seharusnya menghasilkan I stopped working, tetapi dengan menggunakan Even tough / altough hasilnya adalah kondisi I did not stop working.
Bandingkan dengan Because yang mengekpresikan sebuah hasil yang diharapkan (sebab akibat)
Eventough I was tired, I did not stop working
Because I was tired, I stopped working
Baik even tough dan altough mengarah kepada adverb clause (klausa keterangan)
Pada contoh kalimat di atas, penggunaan even tough dan altough mempunyai arti yang sama :
I was tired, but I did not stop working
