in spite of, despite

jaka jest róznica meidzy tymi wyrazeniami? w ksiazce przeczytalam ze to to samo - ale gdy robie testy to w odpowiedziach jest albo despite albo in spite of. jest wiec jakas roznica czy nie?

I czemu w zdaniu

______ they lived opposite the state school, they sent their child to a private place ten miles away.

Musi byc Although - a nie moze byc Despite/in spite of

Po "despite" i "in spite OF" moga wystapic 2 typy zdan:

1) Despite/ in spite of something (rzeczownik lub czasownik z koncowka -ing)
2) Despite/in spite of THE FACT THAT (normalne zdanie)

:-)

Although they lived opposite the state school, they sent their child to
a private place ten miles away.


Despite the fact that they lived opposite the state school, they sent their child to a private place ten miles away.


In spite of living opposite the state school, they sent their child to
a private place ten miles away.

Różnica w formie jak widzisz....

pozdrawiam
