When to use "although" and "despite"?
Asked by Mimishu1995 (23629)

At school I was always taught that “although” is used before a clause. However, I sometimes see “although” being used before an -ing or -ed phrase, which is something the word “despite” better fits in, according to my teaching. So is there any other rule behind the usage of “although” apart from the one I’ve been taught?
