Рассмотрим пример:
Our football team lost yesterday. We all played badly.
Bill is our best player but yesterday even Bill played badly.
Мы используем even, чтобы сказать, что что-то необычно или удивительно. Мы говорим even Bill, потому что он хороший игрок и не в его стиле играть плохо. Если уж он играет плохо, то это, должно быть, плохой день для всей команды.
— These photographs aren’t very good. Even I could take better photographs than these.
— It’s a very rich country. Even the poorest people own cars.
— He always wears a coat — even in summer.
— Nobody would lend him the money — not even his best friend.
Очень часто мы употребляем even с глаголом в середине предложения. :
— Don has travelled all over the world. He has even been to the Antarctic.
— He always wears a tie. He even wears a tie in bed!
— They are very rich. They even have their own private jet.
Вот еще ряд примеров с not even:
— I can’t cook. I can’t even boil an egg.
— They weren’t very friendly to us. They didn’t even say hello.
— He’s very fit. He’s just run five miles and he’s not even out of breath.
Можно использовать even со сравнительной степенью :
— It was very hot yesterday but today it’s even hotter.
— I got up at 6 o’clock but Jack got up even earlier.
— I knew I didn’t have much money but I’ve got even less than I thought.
— I was surprised to get a letter from her. I was even more surprised when she appeared at my door the next day.
Можно использовать even с if, when и though:
— I’ll probably see you tomorrow. But even if I don’t, we’re sure to see each other before the week-end.
— He never shouts even when he’s angry.
— He has bought a car even though he can’t drive.
