For example, despite heavy rains (noun) we still went out of the city
Or if you want to have a full sentence after
"despite" (subject+verb), you have to say
"despite the fact that"
Despite the fact that it was raining (subject+verb), we still went out of the city Can you try making sentences yourself?
Can you join these two ideas with
