In spite of/Despite the widespread destruction, only six people died.

The family always enjoy themselves in spite of having/despite having no money.

NOT despite of having

PAGE 325



We cannot use these words before a finite clause.

NOT in spite of the Great Fire destroyed much of London

But we sometimes use in spite of/despite the fact that, especially if the two clauses

have different subjects.



In spite of the fact that the Great Fire destroyed much of London,...

But although is usually neater.



Although the Great Fire destroyed much of London,...

In the sentence The team lost but they played well, the conjunction but expresses

the idea that playing well is in contrast with losing and is therefore unexpected.

There is also a weaker meaning of but.



I'm right-handed but my brother is left-handed.

Here but expresses the idea that something is different but not unexpected. To

express this idea of difference, we can also use the conjunctions whereas or while.

I'm right-handed whereas/while my brother is left-handed.

We can also use the adverbial on the other hand to link two sentences. It can go in

front, mid or end position or after the subject.

Birmingham is a big city. Warwick, on the other hand, is quite small.

NOTE


We use on the contrary only when we mean that the opposite is true.

Warwick isn't a big city. On the contrary, it's quite small.
