Cause & effect relationship

  • When you want to explain why something happens, you can use a clause of reason introduced by a conjunction (because, as and since)

Because

The reason is very important in the sentence.

The students could go home earlier because the teacher was ill.

Because the teacher was ill, the students could go home earlier.

4

As

The reason is already known.

As we read, we learn.

5

Since

The reason is already known. (more formal than as)

Since we were in the computer lab, our English has improved.
