This is a check of this example, not an English level assessment.
Example 1 of 1

"Even" on its own cannot join two clauses — the phrase is "even though".
The shape
even though / whereas / while + clause
Sharpen a contrast, or set two things side by side.
In Hindi
even though, although का ज़्यादा ज़ोरदार रूप है। whereas दो बातों की तुलना आमने-सामने रखता है।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
Even he was tired, he came. | Even though he was tired, he came. "Even" on its own cannot join two clauses — the phrase is "even though". |

Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
even though / whereas is a CEFR B2 structure — the confident band — and it belongs to connectors. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
