Even though vs even if

Even though Even though introduces something that s true, but may be unexpected. It s similar to despite. Even though I hate driving, I m still going to Scotland. Even though I hate tennis, I m still going to watch the final. Even if Even if introduces something hypothetical, which means it may not be real. Even if it s sunny when we re in Scotland, I m not going swimming Even if you paid me, I wouldn t watch that film.
