Chapter: Home Life and Family Relationship
Grammar: Connectives
Exercise from the Book
But, However, Although/Even though, In spite of/despite
Connectives are words or phrases that link sentences (or clauses) together. Connectives can go from the very simple, such as ‘and’ or ‘next’ to the more descriptive, such as ‘consequently’ or ‘meanwhile.’
Although
We can use ‘although’ at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. It is used in front of a clause (a clause has at least a subject and a verb that agrees with the subject).
- Although the weather is bad, I love London.
In spite of/Despite
We use ‘despite’ or ‘in spite of’ before a noun or a gerund. It can also go in the middle or at the beginning of a sentence. ‘Despite’ and ‘in spite of’ mean exactly the same thing.
‘However’
We use ‘although’ and ‘despite / in spite of’ to connect two clauses in the same sentence. On the other hand, ‘however’ isn’t used to connect two clauses. Instead, we usually put the two ideas in two separate sentences. We put ‘however’ in the second sentence, and we can put it at the beginning, at the end, or after the subject.
Complete the following sentences with however, although or in spite of.
- …In spite of… the fact that he is an octogenarian; he still leads an active life.
- I still enjoyed the week …although… the weather was bad.
- He has passed MA. However ……, he hasn’t got a job.
- Although…… I had a headache, I enjoyed the movie.
- Ramila didn’t get the job …Inspite of… the fact that she had all the necessary qualifications.
- …Inspite of … the fact that he had no money, he bought the car anyway.
- We can go to the park for lunch. …However… , the weather report says it’s going to rain.
- …Although… I speak English well, my first language is actually Maithili.
