Hello boys and girls, a challenge for you...how about writing three sentences using these subordinators? Each sentence should also contain a new word you have learnt in class and you would like to remember...:-). I hope this time some of you (who I know are secret readers on this blog, cheeky monkeys!) will write something.... .:-)))

In spite of being very tired, I went to the cinema last night.
Hi Monica,
How are you doing?
This is my sentence with "nevertheless"
I worked very hard to get a better job. Nevertheless I couldn´t get it, my effort wasn´t enough.
A big huge for everybody,
Monica,
this is the last one with "even thought".
I´ll go to see the doctor even thought,after have taken a painkiller, I feel better.
Thanks a lot,
Hello Monica,
My sentences:
1.- In spite of my mean brother , I inherited this ring from my mother.
2.- Even though I was starving , I didn't eat anything.
3.- Nevertheless , I could make it up with my girlfriend.
See you on Friday in our first exam.
A big hug for you and of course for all the bloggers.
hello guys...I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I logged in, for I didn't expect any comments so early after posting this grammar challenge :-)
Fine Anna, some corrections:
"huge" means "enormous" and it is different from "hug". "even though" (spelling without "t"), and "after HAVING TAKEN/TAKING" (before and after are followed by -ing forms).
Doctor, ok. I see you used new words learnt in class ;-). I suppose that we must assume that there is a sentece before the full stop and "nevertheless" (like " I had an argument with my gf. Nevertheless...).
Ok, I'll try ^^
In spite of my headache, I had to go to work.
Even tough it was a rip off, I finally bought it.
I teach him how to use the photocopier. Nevertheless, he was like a fish out of water using it.
Although I'm suposed to be in Advanced 2, I have wrote it in order to keep my gramar ^^'
See U!
hi Estela! nice to see you again...
nice sentences, though you wrote "tough2 instead of "though"....and "taught him" past simple...;-)

Monica
Hi everybody! I´m going to write only a sentence with all. Let´s do it:
In spite of the fact this year I´m grateful of being a cheeky monkey again I´ll try not to speak in spanish, even though it´s a challenge for me... Nevertheless I´m sure I´ll do it!
And now Monica, is your tourn, how many mistakes I´ve made?
Hi Sole eheheh, good sentence, only "grateful FOR" and "Spanish" (capital "S")...;-)
Hi! Here goes my sentence:
"In spite of having been chosen by Monica to talk, even though I hate talk in public, and due to my awful speech that I made yesterday; nevertheless for all these, I promise I'll do it better in June."
Miguel,
the final "nevertheless2 doesn't fit in very well...it would make sense after something like: "I made an awful speech. Nevertheless,I promise..."..I think you have got a sophisticated way of thinking and complicate it a bit too much..that's why you find it difficult to express yourself and lose your thread...we will have to work on that ,;-)..too many languages perhaps?
by the way..tomorrow is one of my gym's anniversary and the coaches will present (finally!) combat 37...looooong activities day2
seeya in class
Ok, I'll try to reorder the sentence and do it less complicated. It's the first time somebody I think in a sophisticated way. I've never though it. Maybe, one reason can be I try to use all the things we are learning in short sentences. Because of that, I use to get lost when I speak.
In other hand, in your gym you are late with Body Combat. Rebeca told us she want to "introduce" the new one in December. I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot. My favourite tracks are the fourth (we will survive, not Gloria Gaynor's song) and the sixth (Jeremy), but in general it a very good choreo (the best). Ah! I'm also sure you'll have stiffness.
Ciao!
Hi Monica, here is my sentence:
I've been workng in the same company for three years and, even though I've to work shifts and sometimes do a lot of overtime, I'm happy with it because it's a very flexible job and I don't have to work many hours; nevertheless, the salary is terrible.
Thanks, and see you on Tuesday!
Very well Mar...it's nice to see you back on the blog..;-)
Miguel, "I usually get lost" (used to is only for the past), and "on the other hand" :-)
I am thrilled thinking I will do combat 37 tomorrow. I have been watching it (downloaded) these days and it seems to be hard. Besides, because of the anniversary...I will also try "kick power" in the afternoon..which is a new programme created here by the people coming tomorrow...I'll let you know..(also about my stiff muscles...sigh).so we are late! I know! If Rebe and Santi had not left...we would have also started no. 37 a long time ago..but the gym needed to train new coaches...so..there we are...no. 36 I liked very much...especially the track with a lot of knee strikes and mixing capoeira and a front kick (track 7 Party Non Stop by Ultrasonic)...we must get together one day in a combat class, a weekend perhaps at my gym ..I guess you can ask for an invitation...heheheeheh. I will take some pics tomorrow....seeyaaaa
In spite of I lend money a friend last year and even though we´ve argued for this point,we are friends nowdays.
I have a labour of love.Nevertheless I´ve choosen it.
Hi Lucia, sorry for replying so late, I am rather busy these days...let's see
"In spite of the fact that I lent money to a friend last year" and "argued over this point" ;-)
In spite of having a nice blog I can´t find your e-mail address here. Even though I did my home work (job application), I wouldn´t deliver to you next Monday because I will be abroad. Nevertheless, I will hand over a copy next Thursday in class room.
