2. Lý thuyết về Although, In spite of, Despite:

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.

Cấu trúc: Although/ though/ even though + S + V….., S + V…

Eg: 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.)

In addition, it is worth noting that these conjunctions are used to express contrast or opposition between two ideas. They are typically placed at the beginning or between two clauses. When used at the beginning of the sentence, a comma should be placed between the clauses. “Though” conveys a more formal tone when it starts the sentence, while “even though” emphasizes the contrast more strongly. It is also common to use “though” at the end of a sentence in spoken language.

Here is an example: Although I don’t agree with him, I think he’s honest. (Despite my disagreement, I believe he is genuinely honest.)

In spite of/ Despite

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

Eg: Despite being ill, Mary still went to school.

Despite and in spite of are used before a noun.

Despite and in spite of are used before pronouns (this/ that/ what).

Despite and in spite of are used before V-ing.

We can use in spite of and despite with the phrase “the fact that”.

Both despite and in spite of can be used in the first or second clause.

Transforming sentences with Although to sentences with Despite

If the subject of both clauses is the same, we remove the subject and add -ing to the verb:

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

Example: Although he was ill, he still went to school.

⇒ Despite being ill, he still went to school.

If the subject is a noun + be + adjective, we put the adjective before the noun and remove “to be”:

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

Example: Although the car was dirty, he didn’t wash it.

⇒ Despite / in spite of the dirty car, he didn’t wash it.

If the subject is a pronoun + be + adjective, we change the pronoun to possessive and the adjective to a noun, and remove “be”:

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

Example: Although he was ill, he still went to school.

⇒ Despite his illness, he still went to school.

Adding the fact that before the clause:

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

Example: Although I studied very hard, I failed the placement test.

⇒ Despite the fact that I studied very hard, I failed the placement test.

3. Lý thuyết bổ sung liên quan:

1 – Cấu trúc Because

Because có nghĩa là bởi vì. Because + 1 mệnh đề có nghĩa là bởi vì điều gì đó đã xảy ra, hay bởi vì ai đó đã làm gì. Sau because luôn là một mệnh đề có chủ ngữ động từ đầy đủ.

Công thức câu sử dụng because:

Because + S + V + O, S + V + O hoặc S + V + O, because S + V + O

Ví dụ:

We stay at our house because it is raining. (Chúng tôi ở trong nhà vì trời đang mưa.)

We choose that option because it will help us save marketing cost the most. (Chúng tôi chọn phương án đó vì nó sẽ giúp chúng tôi tiết kiệm chi phí marketing nhất.)

I like this one cause it is in green, that’s my favorite color. (Tôi thích cái này vì nó màu xanh lá, đó là màu yêu thích của tôi.)

2 – Cấu trúc because of

2.1 – CÔNG THỨC:

Because of có nghĩa là bởi vì điều gì đó. Ví dụ như là “bởi vì cơn mưa”, “bởi vì việc tắt đường”, “bởi vì việc đi muộn của tôi”…. Phía sau because of là các danh từ, đại từ hoặc là các cụm danh động từ.

Cách dùng because of không hề khó, bạn chỉ cần nắm vũ công thức dưới đây để thành lập câu với because of.

Because of + noun/ pronoun/ noun phrase

Ví dụ:

Because of the rain, we stay at our house. (Vì cơn mưa mà chúng tôi ở nhà.)

I decided to stay because of you. (Anh đã quyết định ở lại vì em đó.)

We were late because of the heavy traffic jam. (Chúng tôi đã đến muộn vì tắc đường.)

She broke up with Jimmy because of his jealousy. (Cô ấy đã chia tay Jimmy vì tính ghen tuông của anh ấy.)

Khi bạn sử dụng thành thạo because of, có thể bạn sẽ còn “nghiện” cấu trúc này, bởi đặc điểm của nó là rút ngắn được câu. Trong các trường hợp trang trọng hơn thì người bản ngữ cũng ưu tiên dùng because of vì cấu trúc này “che giấu” được chủ thể thực hiện hành động, chỉ nêu cần nêu ra sự việc, giảm đi tính cá nhân, tính công kích.

2.2 – CHUYỂN MẪU CÂU TỪ DÙNG BECAUSE SANG BECAUSE OF VÀ NGƯỢC LẠI

Khi chuyển từ cấu trúc ngữ pháp tiếng Anh because sang cấu trúc because of, ta phải biến mệnh đề phía sau thành một danh từ, cụm danh từ, hoặc danh động từ thay thế. Lưu ý rằng nếu sau Because có “to be” hoặc “here, there”, hãy bỏ chúng đi và xét 6 trường hợp sau:

a – Hai chủ ngữ giống nhau

Bỏ chủ ngữ ở cấu trúc because, thêm “ing” vào động từ.

Ví dụ: I failed the exam because I overslept.

→ I failed the exam because of oversleeping.

b – Tân ngữ trong mệnh đề chứa because là danh từ

Bỏ chủ ngữ và sử dụng danh từ.

Ví dụ: Because there was a heavy traffic jam, we were late.

→ Because of the heavy traffic jam, we were late.

c – Tân ngữ có tính từ đứng trước danh từ

Đưa tính từ lên trước danh từ và bỏ các phần không cần thiết.

Ví dụ: Because the traffic jam was heavy, we were late.

→ Because of the heavy traffic jam, we were late.

d – Một tính từ

Đổi tính từ thành danh từ.

Ví dụ: Because it is raining, I stayed at my house.

→ Because of the rain, I stayed at my house.

e – Cách chuyển về dạng sở hữu

Sử dụng danh từ dạng sở hữu.

Ví dụ: Because I was lazy, I failed the exam.

→ Because of my laziness, I failed the exam.

f – Sử dụng “the fact that”

Dùng cụm “the fact that” đặt trước mệnh đề muốn chuyển. Sử dụng khi không thể chuyển đổi được bằng các cách trên.

Ví dụ: Because Kim is short, she cannot reach the clock on the wall.

→ Because of the fact that Kim is short, she cannot reach the clock on the wall.
