Learning Russian is not easy for everyone. It contains a variety of spelling norms, rules and exceptions. When writing the combination "despite" pay attention to what part of speech it is expressed. It can be a preposition or a homonymous gerund. It is important to understand in which cases the turnover is written separately, and in which it is merged.

Derivative prepositions: rules in Russian

Prepositions in Russian have importance. They indicate the dependence of nouns, pronouns and numerals on other words. This applies to sentences and phrases. The part of speech does not have its own meaning, so the preposition can only serve. When using it, it is important to know how to spell "despite". The correct use of the derivative preposition implies various ways putting it in a sentence.

Derivative prepositions are transferred from other parts of speech. In doing so, they lose their morphological features: words are necessary to indicate dependence on other words, they cannot be declined by cases, they have no gender and number, they are not members of a sentence. When writing, take into account the rules for punctuation.

Spelling "Despite"

If you want to show that a person has given in, use the preposition "despite that." Its synonyms are the words "contrary", "ignoring". You can determine the part of speech by making a substitution. Example: "Despite the fact that all the streets were covered with snow, the kids were at every step." Replace the preposition with the word "against". It turns out the sentence: "Despite the snow that filled up all the streets, the kids were at every step."

Checking is carried out using a question. The preposition is a service part of speech, so the question cannot be asked. If you can get an answer after the question, then the word is a different part of speech. To determine the rules of writing, pay attention to the following points:

  • The continuous spelling with “not” indicates that the sentence contains a preposition: “Despite the fatigue, we quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.”
  • The concessive meaning, when it can be replaced by the word "regardless": "Despite (despite) the offense, I spoke calmly."
  • You can't omit the prefix "not". It is incorrect to use the word "looking".
  • There is no replacement for another part of speech, for example, a verb.

The preposition "in spite of that" cannot be removed from the sentence, as its meaning is lost. If the prefix disappears during pronunciation, it will become unclear what the person wants to say. This can be seen in some sentences:

  • They excitedly talked about their lives, despite the fact that they had not seen each other for ages. When changed to the word “looking”, the meaning is lost.
  • Vera decided to visit the institution, despite the fact that there was sorely lacking time.

The turnover is not always separated by commas. To correctly punctuate, you need to pay attention to the place of the preposition. It can stand at the beginning or at the end of a sentence, therefore it is separated by commas on one or both sides.

Punctuation marks under circumstances

In sentences, adverbial members are often used, which include derivative prepositions. Among them: thanks to, in spite of, due to, like. Separation occurs to emphasize the meaning of what is being said. Example: “Despite the fact that there were many curious people on the street, the village seemed deserted and silent. He decided to go to training, despite the fact that the doctors forbade it.

When using the preposition "despite the fact that" the comma is not put if it comes directly after the verb. Punctuation marks are needed only before the word "what". Differences in punctuation depend on word order. Example: "He looked despite the fact that his eyes hurt a lot."

Writing a derived preposition

Part of the speech helps to make the sentence colorful, indicates that the action was completed in spite of something. Among the features are the following writing rules:

  1. Derivative prepositions consist of one or more words.
  2. Spelling must be remembered, you can check the spelling dictionary.
  3. When used, one preposition is replaced by another synonymous one.

The preposition "despite" is formed from a gerund. When writing, take into account the possibility of opposition. The particle "not" became a prefix. Unlike a gerund, it is written together with a preposition. It is separated by commas, as is the adverbial turnover.

The Russian language is rightfully considered difficult to learn, because where else can you see such a variety of spelling norms, rules and exceptions? And for foreigners, the most difficult topic is prepositions. In fact, the spelling rules are quite simple, you just need to remember which of them are written together or separately, and which are hyphenated.

The problem arises later, when a homonymous part of speech (for example, a noun with a preposition) is placed next to it, in which the spelling is radically different. Most a prime example such a "neighborhood" - the preposition "despite" and the homonymous gerund "despite". Let's figure out when the turnover is written together, and when separately.

Spelling of the preposition "in spite of"

Preposition "despite" used in the meaning of concession. It can be replaced by the following synonyms: "contrary", "contrary", "ignoring". Accordingly, the most in a simple way, which will help determine whether it is a preposition, is a mental replacement of the phrase with any other equivalent. For example:

  • Despite the rain, I went for a walk with the dog.
  • against the rain I went for a walk with the dog.

You can also try to ask a question to this phrase. In Russian, prepositions are official parts of speech, which means that it will not be possible to ask them a question. For example:

  • Despite ( for what?) no matter what they continued to go to their goal.
  • Despite ( for what?) in bad weather, the animals asked to go outside.

And also a sure sign that the turnover before us is a verbal preposition is its immutability. We can't omit the prefix "not". For example:

  • They were comfortable with each other, despite the fact that they had not seen each other for so many years.
  • They were comfortable with each other despite that that they had not seen each other for so many years.
  • She set aside a few minutes to talk, despite being busy.
  • She took a few minutes to talk looking at workload.

As you can see, when we omit the prefix, the whole meaning of the sentence is lost.

It is very important to remember that the turnover with the preposition "despite" always separated by commas. If it is at the beginning or at the end of a sentence, then a comma is placed on one side, if in the middle - on both sides.

Spelling of the gerund "in spite of"

The adverb "in spite of" is used in direct meaning, i.e. literally "without looking at something". Accordingly, in the proposal it can be replaced synonymous with "without looking". For example:

  • I typed the text of the report without looking at the screen.
  • I typed the text of the report, not looking to the screen.

Since the participle is not a service part of speech, you can ask a question to it: "Doing what?" or “Having done what?”, thereby defining that this phrase is not a verbal preposition "despite".

  • I talked about my discovery, doing what?) regardless of commission.
  • Friends shared news among themselves, ( doing what?) regardless of the others.

The adverb is also additional action to the main verb, so you can distinguish it from a preposition in another way. It is necessary to find the main verb and correlate it with the phrase. For example:

And also in the participle, you can omit the particle “not” - then the meaning of the sentence is reversed. For example:

  • Children ran around the yard, not looking around.
  • Children ran around the yard looking on both sides.

The participle is always written separately with the negative particle “not” and is always separated by commas: if the turnover is at the beginning or at the end of the sentence, then it is distinguished by a comma only on one side, if in the middle - on both sides.

To the question How to write correctly: "despite the fact that ..." or "despite" or something else? given by the author Wash the best answer is Yes, not so. "Although" - subordinating union, and the comma can come in front of it instead of inside it. (NOT A SUGGESTION!)
"Question #240499
- "However, despite the fact that the reliability of the supplier is identified as a risk factor, almost a third of those surveyed believe that it makes no sense to check it." Are punctuation marks correct?
The answer of the reference service of the Russian language:
- Correct punctuation.
Cm. :
See the rule:
"If subordinate clause connected to the main one with the help of a complex subordinating union (due to the fact that, due to the fact that, due to the fact that, due to the fact that, because, because, despite the fact that, instead of, in order to, in order to, in while, after, before, since, as well as others), then the comma is placed one at a time: before the union, if the subordinate clause follows the main clause or is inside it, or after the subordinate clause, if it precedes the main clause.
More often, a complex subordinating union is not divided if the subordinate clause precedes the main one, for example: As the chaise approached the porch, Manilov's eyes became more cheerful and his smile spread more and more (Gogol); Before I stopped in this birch forest, I walked with my dog ​​through a high aspen grove (Turgenev); Since I got married, I don’t see the same love from you (A. N. Ostrovsky); Only after four hours of duty at Stepan's bed had passed did Ivan Ivanovich depart in spirit (Koptyaev).
