English grammar: linking words

By Admin Leave a Comment

linking words

In this English lesson you will learn all about linking words and how we use them in English.

Despite/in spite of

The first linking words we are going to look at are despite and in spite of.

Have a look at the example sentences to see how we use them.

I walked to work in spite of or despite the rain (noun) or it raining (ing).

She went out despite/inspite of being ill or her illness.

As you can see either a noun or -ing can follow despite and in spite.

In spite of the fact and despite the fact + subject and verb

Examples:

I walked to work despite/in spite of the fact it was raining.

While/whereas

We use these two to compare difference.

Examples:

I went to university while/whereas Paul did not.

Pete likes sushi while/whereas Sue does not.

although, (even) though, however, nevertheless

Examples:

He went to work although/even though he was sick.

I was sick. Nevertheless I went to work.

Please watch the video for more examples.
