Cause Connectors

Because/ because of

Because always followed by a complete sentence (There should be a verb it) .... Because of only followed by a noun (noun) or a noun phrase. (there is no conjugation / coupling between .... Because of the noun.

because selalu diikuti dengan kalimat lengkap ( Harus ada Verb nya ) ....because of hanya diikuti sebuah kata benda( noun) atau noun phrase.

(tidak boleh ada konjugasi/penghubung antara because of dengan noun ....

Formula :

...because + Subject + Verb ....

ex : the students arrived late _because_ _there_(Subject) _was_(verb) a traffic jam .

...because of + noun (noun phrase) ....

ex: the students arrived late _because of_ _the traffic jam_ (noun phrase).

note :

Ø Because of sering ditukar dengan due to ...

Because juga bisa menjadi sebuah awal kalimat ...

ex : Connectors followed by a noun, a noun phrase, a pronoun or a gerund:

“ Because of : They have had problems raising cash because of the credit crunch”

Due to and owing to are considered by many speakers as exact equivalents, but this is not so, because due to is adjectival (it follows a noun or pronoun), whereas owing to is adverbial (it complements a verb).

Compare these examples:
The game was cancelled owing to torrential rain.
The cancellation of the game was due to torrential rain.

CAUSE

Conjunctions followed by a complete sentence: Because: it usally follows the main clause: Everybody likes her because she's very kind and friendly.

Ø Purpose and result (so that)

Formula :

Subject + Verb + so that + Subject + verb

Ex: I tried to run so that I could save money.

Ø Purpose clauses

You use a purpose clause when you want to state the purpose of the action in the independent clause. The most common type of purpose clause is a to-infinitive clause.

Ex: Sarah went to the computer lab to print out her research report.

Ø Reason clauses

In your written and spoken assignments you will often need to answer the question ‘Why?’. When you want to explain why something happens, you can use a reason clause introduced by the conjunctions because, as or since.

• As she wanted to practise her spoken English, Carrie regularly took part in the ELC’s Big Mouth Corner.
• Mark joined the English Drama Club because he wanted to improve his intonation.

Ø Result clauses

When you want to indicate the result of an action or situation, you can use a result clause. Result clauses are introduced by conjunctions such as so, so... that, or such … that.

• The lecture was boring and irrelevant, so some of the students began to fall asleep.
• Peter was having problems with mathematics, so he went to see his tutor to ask for advice.
• There were so many books on the subject that Cindy didn’t know where to begin.
• There was such a lot of material to cover that Ivan found it difficult to keep up with his studies.
