Which of these two sentences below is gramatically correct?
"Despite playing well, we lost the game."
"Despite having played well, we lost the game."
"Despite playing well, we lost the game."
"Despite having played well, we lost the game."
Top answer
Both are grammatically correct. I would lean towards the first one being semantically preferable. Playing and losing happen together; the losing doesn't happen separately once the playing is done.
