00:00:06so guess wondering why Shakespeare today
00:00:09again you have a book are we doing read
00:00:11in no it’s writing listen you have a
00:00:15book writing you’re reading where’s your
00:00:20pen you don’t even have a pen
00:00:24so I guess you’re wondering where cheeks
00:00:27mismo well I’m writing hair is it
00:00:31because we’re doing the writing lesson
00:00:33le your lessons
00:00:44so last lesson we looked at words to
00:00:47replace but such as although even though
00:00:51though however and having said that all
00:00:54of them mean but but some with a little
00:00:58difference having said that is like to
00:01:02think again
00:01:03on second thought uh who are you I’m
00:01:09Miguel de why are you crying because
00:01:14I’ve been studying for two years and and
00:01:18I can’t speak English
00:01:21oh that’s that you probably didn’t have
00:01:26a good teacher like me at home so you
00:01:30want to say this situation should but
00:01:34didn’t affect the other situation
00:01:38yes ah for this you can use the word
00:01:42despite this despite yes
00:01:46but we need to use despite with that
00:01:49sentence that should have but didn’t
00:01:52effect the other situation the grammar
00:01:54needs to change with this word first the
00:01:57subject pronoun change it to an object
00:02:01pronoun
00:02:07next the verb the form doesn’t matter
00:02:10past present perfect whatever you can
00:02:14reduce it to only the gerund the verb
00:02:16plus ing form the next sentence nothing
00:02:20changes so it looks like this despite me
00:02:24studying English for 2 years I can’t
00:02:27speak the language yes well done is that
00:02:31bed means daddy much better
00:02:33see studying with me and Tom will help
00:02:36you learn English much better ah look at
00:02:41these two so in love what’s that face
00:02:45for I haven’t got any money
00:02:50well don’t don’t worry um ah look at her
00:02:54face I think for her it’s maybe not
00:02:57important it’s not important
00:02:59see and I’m sure that she loves you I
00:03:02still love you see so she wants to say
00:03:06two things one I love you too you don’t
00:03:10have any money but that isn’t a problem
00:03:13and doesn’t affect or change the love so
00:03:17she can use despite but remember the
00:03:20changes subject pronoun object pronoun
00:03:24verb gerund form but this is a negative
00:03:29so how do we make a negative gerund with
00:03:33the word not not having so the finished
00:03:38sentence I love you despite you not
00:03:41having any money the despite sentence
00:03:44can be first despite you not having any
00:03:46money I love you or second but it must
00:03:51introduce the correct sentence the
00:03:54sentence which doesn’t but should affect
00:03:57the other oh also we can say in spite of
00:04:02it means exactly the same as despite and
00:04:05the grammar changes in the same way so
00:04:08oh it’s a friend are you crazy
00:04:11who doesn’t have any money
00:04:15she wants to tell her friend about this
00:04:17situation try to remember how to change
00:04:22the sentence we need dispite object
00:04:26pronoun gerund
00:04:33despite in not have any money I love him
00:04:38we can also use nevertheless it has more
00:04:43or less the same feeling but the grammar
00:04:45doesn’t change and here’s another
00:04:48example of using nevertheless
00:04:52Hey so what do you think of the party
00:04:57tonight
00:04:58there no I think it’s going to be
00:05:01rubbish nevertheless diana is going to
