    Although, Though, Despite, In Spite Of and However

    Although
    We can use 'although' at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. It is used
    in front of a clause (a clause has at least a subject and a verb that agrees with
    the subject).

     Although the weather is bad, I love London.


     I love London, although the weather is bad.

    Despite / in spite of
    We use 'despite' or 'in spite of' before a noun or a gerund. It can also go in the
    middle or at the beginning of a sentence. 'Despite' and 'in spite of' mean exactly
    the same thing. You can choose whichever one you like! If you want to use
    'despite' or 'in spite of' before a clause, you need to add 'the fact that'.

     I love London despite the bad weather.


     I love London in spite of the bad weather.
     Despite the bad weather, I love London.
     In spite of the bad weather, I love London.

     Despite the fact that the weather is bad, I love London.


     In spite of the fact that the weather is bad, I love London.
     I love London despite the fact that the weather is bad.
     I love London in spite of the fact that the weather is bad.

    However
    We use 'although' and 'despite / in spite of' to connect two clauses in the same
    sentence. On the other hand, 'however' isn't used to connect two clauses.
    Instead, we usually put the two ideas in two separate sentences. We put
    'however' in the second sentence, and we can put it at the beginning, at the
    end, or after the subject.

     I love London. However, the weather is bad.


     I love London. The weather, however, is bad.
     I love London. The weather is bad, however.
