Even though is a stronger although. Whereas sets two facts against each other rather than surprising you with one.
The shape

Sharpen a contrast, or set two things side by side.
In Hindi

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". |
These come first. The rest of this makes more sense once they are automatic.
