We all know how difficult it is to practice using conjunctions despite trying our best! Luckily, we created this fantastic exercise to help you!
This grammar exercise focuses on a few important conjunctions that may be difficult to understand and even harder to practice outside the classroom. Keep in mind the conjunctions ‘despite/in spite of’ and ‘although’ show a contrast, but ‘luckily’ and ‘unfortunately’ show an opinion.

Although + subject + verb
Although she is young, she is very independent.
Despite/in spite of + noun/pronoun OR verb + ing
Despite the bad weather, we enjoyed ourselves
In spite of being a millionaire, he lives in a very small flat
Try to fill in the gaps below using the proper conjunction – Luckily,… Unfortunately,… Despite/In spite of… Although…
Luckily, Unfortunately, Despite/In spite of, Although
