Unreal past,wishes

Warning:

  • Warning:
  • We don’t use a that-clause after in spite of or despite. We use in spite of the fact that or despite the fact that:
  • When they arrived at Malaga it was hotin spite of the fact that it was only the end of April.
  • Not: … in spite of that it was only the end of April
  • In spite of is written as three separate words. We never use of with despite:
  • They enjoyed the rides in spite of the long queues. (or … despite the long queues.)
  • Not: … inspite the long queues or … despite of the long queues.
  • In spite of and despite are used to express contrast. They mean exactly the same thing and take the same grammatical structures

  • We can use either of the adverbs however or nevertheless to indicate that the second point we wish to make contrasts with the first point. The difference is one of formality: nevertheless is bit more formal and emphatic than however.
