| Sep 24, 2022 at 16:50 | comment | added | alireza | This question is not related to my original question but your answer have raised a question for me. Why have you said: "despite it being dreadful". What kind of structure is it? Is it just because we need a noun phrase after "despite"? Isn't it more naturally to say: "although it is dreadful"? | |
