	Clive  #219625  Tue, 25 Apr 06 02:17 PM Hi Phebe, Welcome to the Forum. You can say either of these - Despite the rain, I went to the park. In spite of  the rain, I went to the park.  Best wishes, Clive    Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member (22,480) El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo

	26TMNTJG2PG  #529985  Fri, 20 Jun 08 11:15 AM You can say "Despite the fact that he was wearing a helmet, was still badly injured." Or better "Although he was wearing a helmet, he was still badly injured."    26TMNTJG2PG Joined on Wed, Apr 23 2008 Full Member (266)

	26TMNTJG2PG  #529986  Fri, 20 Jun 08 11:18 AM Note: The first suggested sentence should be "Despite the fact that he was wearing a helmet, he was still badly injured."    26TMNTJG2PG
