Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Even"

Example sentences using "Even"

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! :)
