Use of the derived preposition "despite the fact": rules, examples

Learning the Russian language is not easy for everyone. It contains a variety of spelling norms, rules and exceptions. When writing a combination “despite the fact” pay attention to what part of the speech it is expressed. This may be a pretext or homonymous gerunds. It is important to understand in which cases the turnover is written separately, and in which it is continuous.

Derived prepositions: rules in Russian

Prepositions in the Russian language are important. They indicate the dependence of nouns, pronouns and numerals on other words. This applies to the sentence and phrase. Part of speech does not have its own meaning, so the pretext can only serve. When using it, it is important to know how to spell "despite that." The correct use of a derivative preposition involves various ways of stating it in a sentence.

Derived prepositions pass from other parts of speech. At the same time, they lose their morphological characteristics: words are necessary to indicate dependence on other words, they cannot be inflected by cases, they have no gender and number, they are not members of a sentence. When writing, the punctuation rules are taken into account.

Spelling of the "Despite" Combination

If it is necessary to show that a person has conceded, use the pretext "despite that." Its synonym is the words “contrary”, “not considering”. You can determine part of speech by making a replacement. Example: "Despite the fact that all the streets were covered with snow, the children were at every turn." Replace the excuse with the word "contrary." It turns out the sentence: "Contrary to the snow, which littered all the streets, the kids were at every turn."

Verification is carried out using the question. The preposition is the official part of speech, so the question cannot be asked. If after the question you can get an answer, then the word is another part of speech. To determine the rules of writing pay attention to such points:

• A continuous spelling with "not" indicates that the sentence has the preposition: "Despite fatigue, we quickly climbed to the top of the mountain."
• It is an understandable meaning when it can be replaced by the word “regardless”: “Despite (despite) resentment, I spoke calmly.”
• You can not omit the prefix "not." It is wrong to use the word "looking."
• There is no substitution for another part of speech, for example, a verb.

The pretext “despite” cannot be removed from the sentence, since its meaning is lost. If the prefix disappears during pronunciation, it becomes unclear what the person wants to say. This is illustrated by some suggestions:

• They excitedly talked about their life, despite the fact that they had not seen for ages. When you change the word "looking", the meaning is lost.
• Vera decided to visit the institution, despite the fact that time was sorely lacking.

The turnover is not always separated by commas. In order to correctly place punctuation marks, it is necessary to pay attention to the location of the preposition. It can be at the beginning or at the end of a sentence, therefore it is separated by commas on one or two sides.

Punctuation under circumstances

The sentences often use circumstantial terms, which include derivative prepositions. Among them: thanks, despite, due to, like. Separation occurs to emphasize the meaning of what is being said. Example: “Despite the fact that there were many curious people on the street, the village seemed deserted and silent. He decided to go to training, despite the fact that the doctors banned. "

When using the preposition "despite the fact that" the comma is not put if it stands immediately after the verb. Punctuation is only necessary before the word "what." Differences in punctuation design depend on the word order. Example: "He looked despite the fact that his eyes hurt a lot."

Writing a Derived Preposition

Part of the speech helps to make the sentence colorful, indicates that the action took place in spite of something. Among the features distinguish such spelling rules:

1. Derived prepositions consist of one or more words.
2. You need to remember the spelling, you can check the spelling dictionary.
3. When used, one preposition is replaced by another synonymous.

The pretext "in spite of" is formed from the gerimony. When writing, consider the possibility of opposition. Particle “not” has become a prefix. In contrast to the participle, with the preposition it is written together. It is highlighted with commas, as well as the adverbial turnover.
