正确答案填进去了

但是做题的时候遇到although，看到论坛上有人又说不可以放在句子中间

到底although的用法是怎样的呢？
还有
although ，even though， even if，despite的用法有那位高人可以讲下呢？

谢谢

greedier

可以在句首, 句中, 句尾

谢谢
那么although ，even though， even if，despite用法上有什么区别呢/
经常看到题目中会有这几个的换用...

greedier

although=even though

even if意思上和although/even though不一样, even if有假設的含意. OG/Prep上

只出現一次:
P1#13. Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until

their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company's

severance package is available to workers even if they find a new job

before they are terminated.

although/even though/even if可引导从句
despite不可以引导从句

补充一下你看对不对哈

Her voice was shaking despite all her efforts to control it. ◆ Despite applying for hundreds of jobs, he is still out of work. ◆ She was good at physics despite the fact that she found it boring.

可以用在同位语从句中

despite the fact that......

She went to Spain despite the fact that her doctor had told her to rest.

还有一个词组

despite yourself
if you do something despite yourself, you do it although you did not intend to
