Q:
Please show me example sentences with even more so .
A:
Hola!
This is a somewhat difficult concept, even for some native English speakers. However, I’ll try to explain.
You use “even more so” when you have already made a comparison/statement and are making another comparison/statement with the same quality/description.
Examples:
•Thomas and father are similar, but Thomas and his mother are even more so.
•The food at this restaurant is delicious, but the food I cook is even more so.
In the first sentence, I am comparing the similarity of Thomas and his father with that of Thomas and his mother. In the second sentence, I am making a statement about the food at the restaurant and downplaying this statement with another about the food that I cook.
In both cases, the “even more so” refers to the adjective that was listed in the first part of the sentence (“similar” and “delicious.”) These adjectives are implied in the second parts of the sentences but are not explicitly stated. Think of “even more so” as meaning “even more [ADJECTIVE.]” We use “so” in order to not sound redundant, but the sentence would have the same meaning if you restated the adjective that you’re using the compare.
Thus:
Thomas and his father are similar, but Thomas and his mother are even more so.
=
Thomas and his father are similar, but Thomas and his mother are even more similar.
The same goes for the second example. Replace “so” with “delicious,” and you would have the same meaning, because “so” is merely a reference to the aforementioned adjective.
I sincerely hope this helps! :)

Synonyms of "Even" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between even if and even though ?
A:
We use "even though" to mean "despite the fact that" and "even if" to mean "whether or not". Compare:
"Even though Tom doesn't speak Spanish, I think he should still visit Madrid" => Despite the fact he doesn't speak Spanish. The speaker knows that Tom doesn't speak Spanish.
"Even if Tom doesn't speak Spanish, I think he should still visit Madrid" => Wether or not he speaks Spanish. The speaker doesn't know definitely weather Tom speaks Spanish or not.
Hope this helps.

Q:
What is the difference between "even if" and "although" ?
A:
"Even if" is hypothetical (things that may happen, but haven't happened yet. You just imagine what it would be like if it happens).
ex) "Even if I were cold, I'd still want to eat ice cream." You aren't cold, you're just imagining.
"Although" is something that's not hypothetical (it actually happened or is happening).
ex) "Although I am cold, I still want to eat ice cream." You are cold right now.
Both are used to say "'A' does not affect 'B'. 'A' seems like it should affect 'B', but it does not."
ex) "Although you're tall, you can't reach the shelves." Being tall SHOULD help you reach the shelf, but in this case, it does not. 'A' does not affect 'B', so we use 'although'.
Hopefully this helped :)

Q:
What is the difference between I can't even and I can't stand ?
A:
They both mean that you dislike something a lot, but are used a little differently.
“I can’t stand...” is how you begins sentence that you use to say some thing you dislike.
Example:
“I can’t stand when someone interrupts me.”
“I can’t even...” is more of an expression that usually is never finished. It more expresses disgust than dislike.
Example:
“Ugh, I can’t even.”
Let me know if this helps...

Q:
What is the difference between "even though", "even if" and "even when" ?
A:
even though = used when something is true/fact.
even though he's gay, everyone keeps saying that he'll find a wife eventually. [the "he" being gay is a fact, and true (or at least that's what the speaker confidently believes).]
even if = used for conditional, the speaker isn't sure if the clause is true
even if he's gay, that doesn't mean you should be so rude about it. [him being gay isn't definite; the speaker isn't sure that he's gay.]
even when = has two similar meanings, because "when" can have two meanings, too. It can mean something that will (from the speaker's point of view) definitely happen, or something that happens many times, and the speaker is referring to those instances.
even when he admits to it, he'll be in denial internally. [notice the he'll (he will). this means future. the speaker believes that this event will definitely happen]
even when he says he's gay, he's looking at her longingly. [notice the -ing. these means that while he's saying that he's gay, he's also looking at her longingly at the same time.]
hope that helped!

Q:
What is the difference between even though and although ?
A:
saying “though” is a way of saying “however” or “but”, and is usually found at the end of the sentence.
“you could try to swim across the lake, it will be really hard though”
the same sentence could be said like...
“you could try to swim across the lake but it will be really hard.”
the word “although” is another way of saying “however” or “but” or “in spite of the fact”. it is usually found at the beginning or middle of a sentence, and is rarely found at the end.
“Although you have the ability to swim really far, swimming across the lake is very hard.”
“swimming across the lake will be very hard, although you have the ability to swim far.”
