Although & Despite

[tomboy186]

I choose Despite. I think Inspite in this case also works as the structure is" despite/ in spite of + N/Ving, Clause".

[beastmaster]

although + sentence
Despite+ gerund / noun that is the answer

[csharp]

I think "although" will follow by a clause, and "despite" = "in spite of" + nouns.
So in this poll, I use "despite"

[hamoodee]

despite and although: similar meanings, but different syntax required .
dsespite (inspite of) + noun
Despite feelin sick ..
although (though ) + clause
Although she was feeling sick ..

Tdol taught me about this a time ago...
It should be despite...

[belly_ttt]

expecting the news is an complete clause?
Meanwhile, in Tdol's example, feeling tired is not a complete clause either.

How about this?
Pick the correct answer:
a) although raining, he came
b)although it rained, he came

What's the best one?

Hi belly_ttt

I think that the correct is" althought it rained, he came"

although : conjunction
although +clause
Although the storm ended, the sky still looked grey and dark.

despite - preposition
despite + noun
Despite the stormy weather, I went out.
despite + gerund
Despite being ill, he managed to go to work yesterday.

Despite is the correct answer.

Despite can be followed by a noun, as well.[not only by a gerund].
Despite the bad weather, he went swimming.
