If I want to use "despite" instead of "although" in this sentence, "Although he ran on the threadmill every day, he could not pass the test", do I write "Despite having run on the threadmill every day, he could not pass the test"?
Does the despite + having + past participle signify the verb is in the past tense (if used in a finite clause) or present perfect tense or both?
Thanks.
