Hi, I want to know how to use:" no matter" and irrespective"
How do you use these two different "words" with the similar meaning? what is the difference? Thanks

Question

Answer

When you are using them in that context, they are quite similar, except you need to have 'of' after irrespective. Also - 'no matter' is a lot more informal, so in a formal situation you should use 'irrespective'.
'No matter what he did, he could not move it'. 'Irrespective of what he did, he could not move it'.

Answer

"no matter" is used to say that something is not important. On the other hand, "irrespective" is used "irrespective of". So, "irrespective of" is used when saying that a particular fact has no effect on a situation and is not important.
