Preposition: They were upset because of the delay. Conjunction: They were upset because they were delayed. Preposition: Despite the rain, we enjoyed ourselves. Conjunction: Although it rained, we enjoyed ourselves. Preposition: We stayed indoors during the storm. Conjunction: We stayed indoors while the storm raged. Preposition: It looks like rain.
