Although和in spite of的区别.

although后面跟从句,例如：Although he was tired,he went on working。He often helps me with my English although he is quite busy。【注意：although 的几不：　　although不能指假设的情况　　although不能作并列连词　　although不能作副词,放在词尾】in spite of后面跟的是名词或者动名词,不跟从句。In spite of her never having acted before,her first performance for the amateur dramatic group was a success。尽管她以前从没有表演过,她的第一次演出Despite his advanced years,he is learning to drive． 虽然年事已高,他现在在学驾驶汽车。Despite the drought,we expect a good crop． 尽管天旱,丰收依然在望。In spite of the police brandishing their clubs and pistols,people showed not the slightest fear． 尽管警方挥动着短棍及手枪,但人们毫不畏惧。We arrived at the station in spite of the storm． 虽然有暴风雨,我们依旧准点到达火车站。
