Even can be used as an adverb, adjective, or a verb. The use all depends on the context of the sentence.
Verb:
To make level, the same, or smooth
"I evened off the icing on the cake."
Adjective:
Level, smooth, flat, equal
"After repairing the road both lanes were even."
"You must add an even amount of milk to the cereal."
Adverb:
The adverb version is usually used as a comparative
"He did it even though it seemed impossible."
"Even I know not to touch things in the museum."
Más o menos; puedes usar la palabra "even" en inglés en muchos escenarios. Creo que la versión más común en las conversaciones es el adverbio.
