Giving reasons with because
We use because to introduce clauses of
reason. Its tone is strong.
e.g. I like listening to music because it makes me feel relaxed.
I like painting because I like all the different colours.
He loves the sounds of the rushing water and the blowing wind because, to him, the best music comes from nature.
We often use because to answer why
questions.
e.g. Millie: Why do you love Michael Jackson
Daniel: Because he was the King
of Pop.
TIP:
We never use the conjunction so in
sentences with because.
Giving reasons with since and as
Since and as are also used to give reasons for something. Usually the reasons are already known. Their tone is weaker than because.
e.g. Since he had no musical instruments
then, he made music with common
objects like stones and paper.
TIP:
Since and as are used in the same way and have no difference in meaning.
e.g. As he likes the sounds of nature, Tan
uses them a lot in his music.
1. because, since, as引导原因状语从句
because 表示直接的原因或理由，着重点在从句，用于回答why，语气最强，“因为”。
since 表示对方已知的、无须加以说明的既成事实的理由，全句中心在主句，语气比because弱，“既然”。
as 表示十分明显的原因，一般说明因果关系，着重点在主句，语气较弱，“由于”。

在强调句式中，若强调原因状语从句，
只能用because引导的从句。

正因为他病了，他才没和我们一起去。
2. for与 because, as, since的区别
The fuel must have been finished, _____ the engine stopped.
A. since B. as
C. because D. for
because, as, since表示因果，语气较强；
for引导的是并列分句，它只是对前面的分句加以解释，说明推断的理由，并且后置。
e.g. We did not go out yesterday, because it was raining.
因为下雨，昨天我们没有出去。
It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet this morning.
