nice

DESPITE and IN SPITE OF: these words are used when two ideas are connected but there is some sort of contrast between them.
These two words are more used to write than to speak because they are a little bit formal , being DESPITE the most formal.

1. Some of the uses:
   a) When these words are connected with a cause or a noun, for instances:
   He got the job DESPITE / IN SPITE OF his bad performance in the interview (we use DESPITE / IN SPITE OF to construct the contrast of ideas) .
   b) When these words are connected with an action or a verb with the ING form:
   For example: We arrived on time DESPITE / IN SPITE OF missing the first bus.
2. The meaning of DESPITE / IN SPITE OF is similar to ALTHOUGH, EVEN THOUGH and THOUGH.
3. BE CAREFUL: the clauses that start with THAT have meaning within themselves (full ideas).
   When we are connecting two full ideas we can not use DESPITE or DESPITE OF. We connect with DESPITE OF THE FACT or IN SPITE OF THE FACT in these cases.
   For example: We enjoyed the movie DESPITE OF THE FACT THAT the critics were negative.

1. Despite / in spite of all the difficulties, the project was a success.
2. Despite / in spite of his lack of experience, he became a successful businessman.
3. Despite of the fact / in spite of the fact that he’s a millionaire, he drives a second-hand car.
