AS LONG AS ( SIEMPRE Y CUANDO) WE USE ‘AS LONG AS’ TO EXPRESS A CONDITION – SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN ONLY ON CONDITION THAT SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS. ONE THING DEPENDS ON ANOTHER. EXAMPLE : I’LL PAY THE BILL ( PAGARÉ LA CUENTA ) AS LONG AS ( SIEMPRE Y CUANDO) YOU GIVE ME MONEY ( ME DES EL DINERO) EXAMPLE : AS LONG AS YOU COME BACK BEFORE MIDNIGHT, YOU CAN GO TO THE PARTY. Y CUANDO REGRESES ANTES DE LA MEDIA NOCHE PUEDES IR A LA FIESTA) SITUATION: IF YOU DON’T BOTHER THE DOG WHILE IT’S EATING IT WON’T DO ANYTHING TO YOU. (LONG) THE DOG WON’T DO ANYTHING TO YOU AS LONG AS DON’T BOTHER IT WHILE IT’S EATING. ( SIEMPRE

EVEN IF ( AÚN SI) / EVEN THOUGH ( AÚN CUANDO) NO, THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. IF YOU WANT TO USE EVEN THOUGH, THE MEANING CHANGES. (NO, NO SE PUEDEN INTERCAMBIAR IF YOU WANT TO USE EVEN THOUGH EL SIGNIFICADO CAMBIA) EVEN THOUGH MEANS DESPITE THE FACT THAT AND IS A MORE EMPHATIC VERSION OF THOUGH AND ALTHOUGH. ( “AUN CUANDO” SIGNIFICA “ A PESAR DEL HECHO QUE” ES MÁS ENFÁTICO) EVEN IF MEANS WHETHER OR NOT AND HAS TO DO WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT MAY APPLY. ( “AÚN SI “ SIGNIFICA SI O NO TIENE QUE VER CON LAS CONDICIONES QUE PODRIA SUCEDER) COMPARE THE FOLLOWING: EVEN IF I HAD TWO HOURS TO SPARE FOR SHOPPING, I WOULDN'T GO OUT AND BUY A SUIT. EVEN THOUGH I HAD TWO HOURS TO SPARE FOR SHOPPING, I COULDN'T FIND THE SUIT I WANTED.

We use even though when we're talking about a real situation. We use it to express a fact or when we think something is true. Let's look at how the meaning changes when we use even though instead of even if in the examples I used above: “I'm going out right now, even though it's raining. ” Examples : He told her everything she needed to know, even though it would be lost and he'd have to reteach it tomorrow. Every month they would test my grip, and for a long time my left grip was weaker than the right, even though I'm left-handed. Cat said she stayed with him for two more months, even though it was obvious he was using her.
