The word "despite" is a preposition that means "without being affected by" or "in spite of". It is used to show that something happens even though there is something that might have prevented it.

Examples:

  • Despite the rain, we went for a walk.
    (We went for a walk even though it was raining.)

  • She finished the race despite feeling tired.
    (She finished the race even though she was tired.)

If you want, I can provide more examples or explain how to use it in sentences!
