Chào các bạn, mọi người đã hoàn thành bài tập về So, Therefore, But, However chưa nhỉ? Nếu đã nắm được rồi thì hôm nay chúng ta lại tiếp tục với một số liên từ mới, đó là Although, Though, Even though, Despite hay In spite of. Đây cũng là phần khá trọng tâm trong chuyên đề ngữ pháp tiếng Anh cơ bản, vậy nên hãy học thật kỹ nhé.

Although/ Even though/ Though/ Despite/ In spite of đều được sử dụng để diễn tả sự tương phản, đối lập, mang nghĩa là “mặc dù, dù cho”, tuy nhiên lại có sự khác biệt rất lớn về cấu trúc giữa chúng.

I. Although/ Even though/ Though

  • Ba liên từ này thường ở đầu câu hoặc giữa hai mệnh đề. Nếu đứng đầu câu thì giữa 2 mệnh đề phải có dấu phẩy
  • Although/ though/ even though đều có cùng nghĩa nhưng though khi đứng ở đầu câu giúp câu nói trở nên trang trọng hơn so với khi nó đứng giữa hai mệnh đề còn even though mang nghĩa nhấn mạnh hơn
  • Đôi khi trong văn nói, chúng ta thường dùng though ở cuối câu.

Although/ though/ even though + S + V….., S + V…

Ví dụ:1. Although I don’t agree with him, I think he’s honest. (Mặc dù tôi không đồng ý với anh ta nhưng tôi nghĩ anh ta rất thành thật.)2. She went on walking though she was terribly tired. (Cô ấy vẫn tiếp tục đi bộ dù chô cô ấy đã rất mệt.)

3. We went out even though it was raining. (Chúng tôi đã ra ngoài dù trời đang mưa.)4. The food of this restaurant isn’t delicious. I like the decoration though. (Thức ăn ở nhà hàng này không ngon nhưng tôi khá thích cách trang trí.)

II. In spite of/ Despite

In spite of/ Despite + Noun/ Noun phrase/ Gerund phrase

  • Despite và in spite of đứng trước một danh từVí dụ:We went out in spite of the rain. (Chúng tôi đã đi ra ngoài chơi dù trời mưa.)
  • Despite và in spite of đứng trước đại từ (this/ that/ what)Ví dụ:Despite his sickness, he still had to go to school. (Dù bị đau nhưng cậu bé vẫn phải đi học.)
  • Despite và in spite of đứng trước V-ingVí dụ:Despite being ill, Mary still went to school. (Dù bị ốm nhưng Mary vẫn đi học.)
  • Chúng ta có thể sử dụng in spite of và despite với cụm từ “the fact that”Ví dụ:The holiday was great despite the fact that hotel wasn’t so comfortable. (Kỳ nghỉ rất tuyệt cho dù sự thật là khách sạn không được thoải mái lắm).
  • Cả despite và in spite of có thể được dùng ở mệnh đề đầu hoặc mệnh đề thứ hai đều được.Ví dụ:Despite not understanding the words, I knew what he wanted.= I knew what he wanted despite not understanding the words. (Dù không hiểu từ ngữ nhưng tôi biết điều mà anh ta muốn.)Tuy nhiên, câu đầu nhấn mạnh việc “không hiểu” còn câu thứ 2 nhấn mạnh việc “biết điều mà anh ta muốn”

III. Các công thức biến đổi từ mệnh đề sang cụm từ như sau, tức là biến đổi câu với Although sang câu với Despite

1. Nếu chủ ngữ của 2 mệnh đề giống nhau thì ta bỏ chủ ngữ rồi lấy động từ thêm -ing

Although + S + V → In spite of/ Despite + V_ing

Ví dụ:Although he was ill, he still went to school.→ Despite being ill, he still went to school. (Dù cho anh ta bị ốm nhưng anh ấy vẫn đi học.)

2. Nếu chủ ngữ là danh từ + be + tính từ thì ta đem tính từ đặt trước danh từ, bỏ to be

Although + The + N + Be + Adj → In spite of/Despite + The + Adj + N

Ví dụ:Although the car was dirty, he didn’t wash it.→ Despite / in spite of the dirty car, he didn’t wash it. (Dù chiếc ô tô rất bẩn nhưng anh ta vẫn không rửa nó.)

3. Nếu chủ ngữ là đại từ + be + tính từ thì ta đổi đại từ thành sở hữu, đổi tính từ thành danh từ, bỏ be

Although + S + Be + Adj → In spite of/ Despite + His /her/ their + N

Ví dụ:Although he was ill, he still went to school.→ Despite his illness, he still went to school. (Dù cho anh ta bị ốm nhưng anh ấy vẫn đi học.)

4. Nếu chủ từ là đại từ + động từ + trạng từ thì ta đổi đại từ thành sở hữu, động từ thành danh từ ,trạng từ thành tính từ đặt trước danh từ

Although + S + V + Adv → In spite of/ Despite + His/ her/ their + Adj + N

Ví dụ:Although He behaves impolitely, everybody still loves him.→ Despite/ in spite of his impolite behavior, everybody still loves him.

5. Nếu câu có dạng there be + danh từ thì ta bỏ there be chỉ giữ lại danh từ

Although + There + Be + Noun → In spite of/ Despite + Noun

Ví dụ:Although there was the traffic jam, we went home early.→ Despite / in spite of the traffic jam, we went home early.

6. Nếu câu có dạng It (be) + tính từ về thời tiết. Đổi tính từ thành danh từ thêm “the” phía trước

Although + It + Be + Adj → In spite of/ Despite + Noun

Ví dụ:Although it was rainy, the children were still happy to play in the garden.→ Despite / in spite of the rain, the children were still happy to play in the garden.

7. Nếu câu có dạng Danh từ + (be) + V3/ed (câu bị động) thì ta đổi V3/ed thành danh từ rồi thêm the phía trước và of phía sau, danh từ ở câu gốc đem xuống để sau of

Although + Noun + Be + V3/ed → In spite of/ Despite + The Noun + of + Noun

Ví dụ:Although television was invented, my father still keeps the habit of reading newspaper.→ Despite / in spite of the invention of television, my father still keeps the habit of reading newspaper. (Dù cho TV đã được phát minh nhưng bố tôi vẫn giữ thói quen đọc báo.)

8. Thêm the fact that trước mệnh đề

Although + S + V → In spite of/ Despite + The fact that + S + V

Ví dụ:Although I studied very hard, I failed the placement test.→ Despite the fact that I studied very hard, I failed the placement test.
