Hi, my dear friends from EF. I've been abroad for a long time. Now, could you please, answer to this question?
We have to use "despite" before a noun. For example, I was in love with Jane despite the fact that she loved Mike, not me. Or: I was in love with Jane despite her loving Mike, not me.
Now my question. Can I say?: I was in love with Jane despite her love for Mike, not for me. If yes, what is the difference between this sentence and "I was in love with Jane despite her loving Mike, not me.
And thank you in advance,
Eladio
