how to spell it together or separately according to the rules of the Russian language

We analyze the rule for writing the word “despite”. Merged or separate? Are both options possible? We will tell the rules, listen to the expert and consolidate knowledge in the final test

Aigul Gomboeva

Author KP

Olga Polynitsyna

Teacher of the Russian Language and Literature of the Higher category of gymnasium No. 25 of the city of Irkutsk

Even a round excellent student at least at least I thought about it once when I came across this word. "Despite" or "Despite"? Should I write together or separately? And even visual memory will not help here, because sometimes the word is written together, and sometimes - separately. The only way to figure it out is to learn the rules. nine0003

The rule "despite"


Before studying the rule, let's perform the standard procedure: determine the part of speech. To do this, we need an example: "Despite being very tired, we went for a walk." In this sentence, “despite” is a verbal preposition that is written together. Its meaning is "in spite of something". There is a very simple way to make sure that the preposition is in front of you: it can be replaced with "regardless of."

RELATED

Examples

She worked despite being sick.

In the morning, despite the rain , dad went fishing.

In the yard, despite the frost , the children danced around the Christmas tree.

Gender rule

Again we define the part of speech. And here again an example will help: "He walked in a bad mood, not looking at her." In such sentences, "regardless" is a gerund derived from the verb. In Russian, gerunds with the particle "not" are written separately. It is very simple to understand that you have a gerund in front of you: it can be replaced with the verb: "did not look at her." nine0004

TOPIC

Examples

He walked straight to the goal, despite on the sides.

She was displeased and answered dryly, despite me.

Despite under his feet, he ran to his grandmother.

Teacher's advice

Olga Polyanitsyna, teacher of Russian language and literature of the highest category, Gymnasium No. 25 in Irkutsk:

- If this is a gerund, then the negative particle “not” is written separately. For example: "He answered without looking into his eyes." There is an interesting way to remember separate spelling: when "regardless" refers to what we see directly with our eyes, it is written separately, because a person also has two eyes. For example: "He instantly turned around and moved, not looking around." In this sentence, you can add the word "eyes": "He instantly turned around and moved, not looking around with his eyes." nine0004

“Despite” is a derivative preposition formed from the particle “not”, the gerund “looking” and the preposition “on”. It is spelled fluently. For example: "Despite the fatigue, I went to training." There is no way to add "eyes" here.
