The connector "in spite of" belongs to the group of connectors of opposition or contrast, of a concessive nature; introduces an opposition in relation to an idea or fact. For example: In spite of that I bundled up, I was cold all night.
Connectors are words or expressions that allow us to indicate a relationship between two sentences or statements. The use of connectors favors the reading and comprehension of texts, since they provide coherence and cohesion.
Other concession opposition connectors are: with everything, even so, now well, anyway.
The "despite" connector can be used in two ways:
- despite + what + verbs. For example: In spite of They warned me, I decided to take the risk.
- despite + nouns. For example: In spite of the warning, I decided to take the risk.
