0But I have seen 01b00have sb do sth02b00, too. So what's the difference between the two?02br
00Whereas, means inasmuch, but how about the other? it does mean "although", we cannot say the meaning of a word if we don't put it in the right context. True thing happen to apart from, it has two opposite meaning, so I think the same happen here in whereas. 02br
