I would like to review the following connectors/prepositions of contrast ALTHOUGH, THOUGH, EVEN THOUGH, DESPITE AND IN SPITE OF. Please pay attention to the video explanation ( it's a 9.04 min. length video), pause it as many times as you need to write down an example, to take notes...watch it as you will. Make sure you do not get interrupted and you can really focus on the explanation.
