In my previous posts, I talked about how to use ‘so that’ and ‘so as’ correctly. In this post, the use of another pair, namely ‘despite’ and ‘although’ will be discussed.
1 ‘despite’ is used in front of a noun phrase.
Example 1:
Despite the heavy rain, the boys continued playing football.
Example 2:
He came to work despite being sick.
Example 3:
She still works there despite the miniscule salary.
2 ‘although’ is used in front of a clause.
Example 1
Although he was sick, he still went to work.
Example 2
Although it was raining, the boys continued to play football.
Example 3
Although he failed in the exam a few times, he still wanted to sit for it.
