Although, Though, Despite, 和 In spite of 意思完全一样,但语法规则却大不相同。在写作中用错不仅会被扣 Accuracy 的分数,还会直接影响考官的整体印象哦! 🟢 Group 1:连词 (Although / Though) 把它们当作“句子连接词”。它们后面必须接一个完整的句子(也就是说必须有主语和谓语动词)。 📍 公式: Although / Though + [主语] + [动词] 📝 例子: Although the exam (主语) was (动词) difficult, most students passed. 💡 Though 会稍微偏口语化一点。在 DSE 写作(特别是像 Letter to the Editor 这种正式文体)中,建议大家多用 Although 喔! 🔵 Group 2:介词 (Despite / In spite of) 这是最容易踩坑的重灾区!因为它们是介词,所以后面绝对不能接完整的句子,只能接名词 (Noun)、名词短语 (Noun Phrase) 或 动名词 (V-ing)。 📍 公式: Despite / In spite of + [名词 / V-ing] 📝 例子 1 (接名词): Despite the difficult exam, most students passed. 📝 例子 2 (接 V-ing): In spite of being difficult, the exam was passed by most students. 💡 ⚠️千万不要自己发明 "Despite of"!记住,要么是单字 "Despite",要么是三个字 "In spite of"。 🧠 随堂小测 (评论区交作业啦!): 请用 Although 或 Despite 填空: 1️⃣ ________ studying all night, Artie still felt unprepared. 2️⃣ ________ he studied all night, David still felt unprepared. 把答案留在评论区,我来帮你们看! #HKDSE #DSE英语 #DSE干货 #英语语法陷阱 #英语写作 #香港DSE留学 #英语老师
