17、happening as expected.This idea is known as“counter expectation”.Do not worry about the term.Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.English has many words that serve this purpose.Three of the most common are the words“even”,“still”an

18、d“actually”.You will often hear them in informal,everyday speech.Speakers use these words to show disappointment.The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean.Lets study examples of each word.Speakers often use the word even”to show disappointment or surprise.Imagine a young child that expects a
