Answer 4

inspite is not a word. When you say "in spite of", it is three separate words. Despite means 'in spite of' or 'notwithstanding'.

Answer 5

Doing something in spite of suggests that you made the decision to do something as a means of getting back at somebody, simply to be perverse- hence the spite portion. Despite suggests that you were able to sucessfully do something against the odds, or with something not being particularly in favor of you doing it. A teenage might decide to drink in spite of parental warnings against the behavior. He might actually survive adolescence and grow into a responsible adult despite his drinking to excess.

Answer 6

"inspite" is actually spelt as two words- in spite- and is followed by the preposition "of". example: in spite of the bad weather, they managed to reach the chalet before sunset.
"despite" can be followed by a phrase sometimes. example: despite the fact that the weather was bad, they....
or despite the bad weather, they...
the two mean the same as long as they are used correctly.

Answer 7

They have similar meanings. They all serve to record something that is surprising or unexpected. in spite of and despite are both prepositions. They require:

in spite of + noun
despite + noun

Although “in spite of” is perfectly standard English, some people prefer “despite” because it is shorter. Be careful not to mix the two together by saying “despite of” except as part of the phrase “in despite of” meaning “in defiance of.”

That's "in spite"( 2 words) - and you'd have to say "in spite of" for it to be equivalent to "despite"....in spite of something = despite something.
