Lesson 328--Using Even

 
One interesting word in English is even.  This lesson and the next two lessons will focus on using it both positively and negatively.  This lesson will be on the positive.

We use even when we want to explain that someone has done more than we expected or that they have done too much.

examples

Maggie has eaten all the food.  She has even eaten the stale bread.
Garth annoys everyone.  He even annoys his wife.
Dennis is never on time.  He will even be late for his funeral.
Charles wakes up early.  He even wakes up early on his vacation.

position

a) between the auxiliary verb and the main verb
b) after the verb be
c) before other verbs.
