Although/though/in spite of/despite

I review my learning words today.

Although

Although + subject + verb

Usages

• Although I was sick, I went to work yesterday.
• I'm happy although I have little money.
• Although it rained, we climbed the mountain.

In spite of / despite

in spite of / despite + noun / pronoun / -ing

Usages

• In spite of living the big house, we use it only two rooms.
• Despite having angry for him, I went to the his party.
• I went to work in spite of being sick.

Though

It's used in spoken English at end of the sentences.

Usages

• I didn't like swimming. I swam,though.
• I couldn't sleep. I was really tired,though.

Conclusion

These are same meaning. However if you use "in spite of / despite", you would seem to be smart.

Thanks.
