Hi
Today somebody asked me if it's possible to replace these two or not? I checked both in dictionary and it was written they can be used for contrasting ideas, but to me it's not possible and I didn't know exactly how to justify my answer. Could you kindly help me? For example are these two sentences correct:
1. Despite the heavy rain, I went out.
2. unlike the heavy rain, I went out.
Deep inside I reckon it's not possible, but as I said I couldn't find a good explanation for that.
Thanks a million.
