We decided not to buy that car because it was too big. Another reason was that it was too expensive. (Мы решили не покупать ту машину, потому что она была слишком большой. Ещё одной причиной было то, что она была слишком дорогой.)
Another ставится перед существительным в единственном числе.
It was the middle of the night. In spite of that, the streets were crowded with people. (Была середина ночи. Несмотря на это, улицы были полны людей.)
In spite of that вводит противопоставление; although потребовало бы придаточного предложения.
There was writing on the wall of the cave. What it said was impossible to read. (На стене пещеры была надпись. Невозможно было прочитать, что в ней говорилось.)
What здесь означает «то, что».
The morning was sunny and hot. However, in the afternoon it became cold and wet. (Утро было солнечным и жарким. Однако днём стало холодно и сыро.)
However подходит для противопоставления.
Our plan was to get to the station early, but we missed the train. Instead, we went by bus. (Мы собирались рано добраться до вокзала, но опоздали на поезд. Вместо этого мы поехали на автобусе.)
Instead показывает, что сделали иначе.
We'd better get some food. Otherwise, we'll be hungry later. (Нам лучше раздобыть еды. Иначе позже мы проголодаемся.)
Otherwise вводит возможное последствие, если не выполнить первое действие.
