Unit-10     

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.
