How to write a word correctly?
Literacy is an indicator of human intellectual status. Today we will consider the question of how it is correctly written “in spite” or “despite”.
Word, in spite: is it written together or separately?
If you are looking for a single answer to the question, the word is spelled together or separately, then know - it can be written both together and separately, depending on the meaning of what has been written.
Suppose, “in spite” is written in the meaning of “ignore”, “leave unattended”, etc., the word will be written together, as it forms a new meaning - “despite”.
Suppose, “in spite” is written in the meaning of “see”, “watch” and after this phrase you can insert into the “eyes”, then “despite” we write separately.
We offer convenient visualization, thanks to which this phrase will be written correctly, without any difficulties.
And now we will additionally decipher the visualization:
- If the prefix "not" by the way, it is attached when vision is implied - then we write separately “no matter”. Remembering very, very simple - “two eyes - two words” for example, we give the following sentences: “Augustine quickly left, despite the sides”, “she sobbed, and Rick moved further, despite her eyes either on her or on the sides ";
- If the prefix “not”, by the way, is attached in the case when invisible concepts are implied, then we are always writing together. For example, we give the following suggestions: “Marina proceeded to vocals, despite the protesting screaming from the hall,” “Vasilisa and Mark were circled in a happy dance, despite the envious whisper of enemies.”
So, as you can see, remembering this rule is really easier. And in conclusion, we suggest watching a video lesson on this topic.
