nikitasinhalko: Of is never used with despite.

CreamyHora: I know.. Thatswhy I haven't used..

nikitasinhalko: oh you have used

CreamyHora: I have used it with all not Despite..

nikitasinhalko: no its still wrong ... when we use despite in a sentence we do not use of with it

nikitasinhalko: you can write.... deep having made all efforts, Susan did not succed.

nikitasinhalko: despite*

CreamyHora: no dear its not like that.. Rule is that despite is never followed by of but that doesn't mean that we cannot use of anywhere

nikitasinhalko: ok ... thanks for telling

Bajaj2403: So basically what is the correct answer

“Despite all her efforts, Susan did not succeed.” The word in spite is always followed with a preposition “of” however, the word despite is never followed with a preposition, i.e. “of.”

This helps in keeping the meaning of the sentence constant without altering, although, the initial word changes to “despite” instead of ”in spite of.” Both words have similar meaning expressed in a different way.
