字號:

原因狀語從句
    連接詞:because, since, as, for ,now that, in that, owing to, due to, thanks to, because of , as a result of;
    比較:because, since, as和for
    1) because語勢,用來說明人所不知的原因,回答why提出的問題。當原因是顯而易見的或已為人們所知,就用as或 since。
    I didn't go, because I was afraid.
    Since /As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.
    2) 由because引導(dǎo)的從句如果放在句末,且前面有逗 號,則可以用for來代替。但如果不是說明直接原因,而是多種情況加以推斷,就只能用for。
    He is absent today, because / for he is ill.
    He must be ill, for he is absent today.
    now that :既然;
    in that :因為,通常只能放在句中,強調(diào)重要的,的的原因;
    eg:Now that this semester is finished, I am going to rest a few days and take a trip.
    Human beings are different from animals in that human can speak and think.
    owing to, due to, thanks to, because of , as a result of等短語后面只能接詞或短語,不能接從句;
