📍 "She insisted on paying for her meal despite our objections to the contrary."
The sentence is grammatically correct.
✏️The phrase "to the contrary" effectively emphasizes that their objections were counter to her intention or action, which adds clarity and emphasis to the situation [1]. It is an idiomatic and acceptable construction in this context.
Breakdown of the sentence:
💜"She insisted on paying for her meal": A standard and clear clause.
💜"despite our objections": A common prepositional phrase showing contrast.
💜"to the contrary": This adjectival phrase modifies "objections," meaning the objections stated that she should not pay [1].
💜The correct grammatical construction after the verb "insist" when followed by an action is the preposition on followed by a gerund (the verb's -ing form).
💜The phrase "despite of" is incorrect; the word despite does not require the preposition "of".

📍 "He will have arrived at the airport before we reach there. Don't worry."
✏️The provided grammar is correct. It is an example of a complex sentence using future tenses correctly to show the sequence of events.
Here is an analysis:
💚"He will have arrived at the airport": This uses the future perfect tense (will + have + past participle) to describe an action that will be completed before a specific point in the future. The verb 'arrive' should be in an Active Voice as the subject (He) is doing the action of arrival.
💚"before we reach there": This uses the present tense in a time clause to indicate that future point in time. In English grammar, when a clause starts with a time conjunction (like before, after, when, by the time), we use the present tense to refer to future time.
💚"Don't worry": This is an imperative sentence (a command or instruction) and is grammatically correct as a standalone thought.
💚 We use simple tenses in clauses starting with 'before' and perfect tenses clauses starting with 'after'.
