EVEN IF: meaning and examples
Good morning! I hope you had a great weekend.
Today's expression is: EVEN IF
Meaning: This connecting phrase means 'whether or not' or 'irrespective of' and we use it to introduce a possible real or unreal (imaginary) condition. The result of this condition remains true. It's like saying,
I will do X. It doesn't matter if Y occurs or not. --> I will do X even if Y.
Example 1:
Even if I have to pay 500 euros for them, I'm going to buy tickets to the Bruce Springsteen concert.
Example 2:
Even if you were to offer me a company car and other benefits and perks, I still wouldn't take the job.
Example 3:
Sarah is determined to pass the exam, even if she has to hire a private teacher for extra lessons.
