Các công thức biến đổi từ mệnh đề sang cụm từ như sau:
1) Nếu chủ từ 2 mệnh đề giống nhau:
- Bỏ chủ từ ,động từ thêm ING .

=> Despite / in spite of getting up late, Tom got to school on time.

2) Nếu chủ từ là danh từ + be + tính từ
- Đem tính từ đặt trước danh từ, bỏ to be
Example:

Although the rain is heavy,.......
=> Despite / in spite of the heavy rain, ......

3) Nếu chủ từ là đại từ + be + tính từ :
- Đổi đại từ thành sỡ hữu ,đổi tính từ thành danh từ ,bỏ BE

Example:

Although He was sick,........
=> Despite / in spite of his sickness,.......

4) Nếu chủ từ là đại từ + động từ + trạng từ
- Đổi đại từ thành sở hữu, động từ thành danh từ, trạng từ thành tính từ đặt trước danh từ

6) Nếu câu có dạng : It (be) + tính từ về thời tiết

- Đổi tính từ thành danh từ thêm the phía trước.

* Các tính từ và danh từ thường gặp trong mẫu này là:

Foggy => fog  ( sương mù  )

Snowy => snow (tuyết)

7) Nếu câu có dạng: Danh từ + (be) + p.p   (câu bị động)

- Đổi p.p thành danh từ, thêm the phía trước và of phía sau, danh từ câu trên đem xuống để sau of

Example:

Although television was invented, .....
=> Despite / in spite of the invention of television, ……….

8  ) Phương pháp cuối cùng cũng là phương pháp dễ nhất : thêm the fact that trước mệnh đề.

Phương pháp này áp dụng được cho mọi câu mà khôgn cần phân tích xem nó thuộc mẫu này, tuy nhiên phương pháp này không được khuyến khích sử dụng vì suy cho cùng những biến đổi trên đây  là rèn luyện cho các em cách sử dụng các cấu trúc câu, do đó nếu câu nào cũng thêm the fact that rồi viết lại hết thì các em sẽ không nâng cao được trình độ. Phương pháp này chỉ áp dụng khi gặp câu quá phức tạp mà không có cách nào biến đổi. Một trường hợp khác mà các em có thể sử dụng nữa là : trong lúc đi thi gặp câu khó mà mình quên cách biển đổi .

Example:

Although he behaved impolitely,.....
=> Despite / in spite of the fact that he behaved impolitely,.....

* Lưu ý: Công thức này cũng áp dụng cho biến đổi từ BECAUSE -> BECAUSE OF
