50 Bài tập về Though, Although, In spite of, Despite cực hay có lời giải

Phần I. Lý thuyết

1. Although/ Even though/ Though

- Ba liên từ này thường ở đầu câu hoặc giữa hai mệnh đề. Nếu đứng đầu câu thì giữa 2 mệnh đề phải có dấu phẩy

- Although/ though/ even though đều có cùng nghĩa nhưng though khi đứng ở đầu câu giúp câu nói trở nên trang trọng hơn so với khi nó đứng giữa hai mệnh đề còn even though mang nghĩa nhấn mạnh hơn

- Đôi khi trong văn nói, chúng ta thường dùng though ở cuối câu.

Cấu trúc: Although/ though/ even though + S + V….., S + V…

Eg: Although I don’t agree with him, I think he’s honest. (Mặc dù tôi không đồng ý với anh ta nhưng tôi nghĩ anh ta rất thành thật.)

2. In spite of/ Despite

Cấu trúc: In spite of/ Despite + Noun/ Noun phrase/ Gerund phrase

Eg: Despite being ill, Mary still went to school. (Dù bị ốm nhưng Mary vẫn đi học.)

- Despite và in spite of đứng trước một danh từ

- Despite và in spite of đứng trước đại từ (this/ that/ what)

- Despite và in spite of đứng trước V-ing

- Chúng ta có thể sử dụng in spite of và despite với cụm từ “the fact that”

- Cả despite và in spite of có thể được dùng ở mệnh đề đầu hoặc mệnh đề thứ hai đều được

3. Các công thức biến đổi câu với Although sang câu với Despite

*Nếu chủ ngữ của 2 mệnh đề giống nhau thì ta bỏ chủ ngữ rồi lấy động từ thêm –ing:

Although + S + V → In spite of/ Despite + V_ing

Ví dụ: Although he was ill, he still went to school.

⇒ Despite being ill, he still went to school.

*Nếu chủ ngữ là danh từ + be + tính từ thì ta đem tính từ đặt trước danh từ, bỏ to be:

Although + The + N + Be + Adj → In spite of/Despite + The + Adj + N

Ví dụ: Although the car was dirty, he didn’t wash it.

⇒ Despite / in spite of the dirty car, he didn’t wash it.

*Nếu chủ ngữ là đại từ + be + tính từ thì ta đổi đại từ thành sở hữu, đổi tính từ thành danh từ, bỏ be

Although + S + Be + Adj → In spite of/ Despite + His /her/ their + N

Ví dụ: Although he was ill, he still went to school.

⇒ Despite his illness, he still went to school.

*Thêm the fact that trước mệnh đề:

Although + S + V → In spite of/ Despite + The fact that + S + V

Ví dụ: Although I studied very hard, I failed the placement test.

⇒ Despite the fact that I studied very hard, I failed the placement test.
