	Belly  +  515180 Sun, 18 May 08 01:06 PM But I have seen have sb do sth, too. So what's the difference between the two? Whereas, means inasmuch, but how about the other? it does mean "although", we cannot say the meaning of a word if we don't put it in the right context. True thing happen to apart from, it has two opposite meaning, so I think the same happen here in whereas. Could you please go over it with more details? Belly Difference Between
