Although / though / even though and in spite of / despite

Good after noon!

How was your Sunday? For my side, it was a great Sunday.

Let further with English lesson. It is not easy for Thai people to use although, though, even though / in spite of / despite correctly. I have a conclusion of using all of the words I mentioned. Sure! I am making a copy from English Grammar in Use.

1) After although, we use a subject + verb
2) After in spite of or despite, we use a noun, a pronoun (this, that, what etc.) or ...ing.
3) We can say in spite of the fact that or despite the fact that (without of)

Although the traffic was bad, I arrived on time.
In spite of the traffic, I arrived on time.
Despite the traffic, I arrived on time.

Because of the traffice, I could not arrive on time.

Have a nice Monday evening.
Madam Li
