Note 187 — ASOCIACIÓN Domingo F. Sarmiento

sin que sus secuaces duden de ello, without his followers doubting it. The student must bear in mind that, whereas without in English is used only as a preposition, in Spanish its equivalent sin is used as a conjunction when, as in this case, it is followed by que. Spanish clauses introduced by sin que, therefore, must be translated by the preposition without plus the gerund of the verb.
