Question

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Though it was heavy rain, the students

attended the class.

Answer 2

Although it rained heavily, the students attended the class.

• Although means that even though something is there, some event has happened.
• Although links clauses with contrasting ideas to give a surprising meaning.
• The phrase in spite of is usually followed by a noun or a gerund.
• This introduces a subordinate clause and should be followed by an independent clause with a comma separating both the clauses.
• A simple sentence will have a subordinate clause (Although it rained heavily) and an independent clause ) the students attended the class) linked by a subordinating conjunction (although).
