Pelajaran 74 : Menggabungkan Dua Gagasan (5)

Menggabungkan dua gagasan dengan Even tough dan Altough

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
