Despite sth/sb + ing

Hi, I wish you a nice weekend.

Despite the prices having risen, I still want to purchase the sports car.

Is the tense sequence above correct?
  

Top answer

Anonymous Is the tense sequence above correct? The first clause doesn't really contain a tense, but a non-finite verb form, so the only tensed verb is want . You can't have a sequence with only one element.
