原因状语从句是指在复合句中表示主句动作发生的原因的句子
We use because to introduce clauses of reason.
1. because意为“因为”,表示动作发生的直接原因,语气很强。
e.g. I like listening to music because it makes me feel relaxed.
I like painting because I like all the different colours.
2. because可以用来回答why引导的疑问句。
e.g. ---Why doesn’t he go with us? ---Because he’s too tired today.
3. 在一个英语句子中,so和because不能同时出现。
e.g. Because my bike was broken, I walked to school yesterday. (√)
Because my bike was broken, so I walked to school yesterday. (×)
4. because of也可表达直接的原因,后接名词代词或动名词。一般情况下可以和because引导的从句互换。
e.g.
1. 由于生病,他不能来。
He can’t come _________ he is ill.
= He can’t come ____________ his illness.
2. 由于大雨,他迟到了。
