when do you use these conjunctions in French?
''Malgré que'', ''bien que'' et ''sauf que''? Do these expressions have any similar conjunctions in English?

Question

Answer

Hi !

This is a common mistake that even French native people do, but you can't say "malgré que". The right conjunction is only "malgré" + noun or "malgré le fait que" + verbe (subjonctive). 
Example : Malgré son jeune âge il est déjà très mature. / Malgré le fait qu'il soit jeune, il est déjà très mature. 
The translation in English would "in spite of" or  "despite".

Bien que = although

Sauf (que) = except / except that.

I hope this will help :)
