Step 3 Grammar
1. 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 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )because I like all the different colors.
He loves the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ounds 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.
2. Giving reasons with since and as
Since and as are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )also used to give reasons for something. Usually the reasons are already known. Their tone is weaker than because.
e.g. Since he ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d no musical instruments then, he made music with common objects like stones and paper.
TIP:
Since and as are us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed in the same way and have no difference in meaning.
e.g. As he likes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the sounds of nature, Tan uses them a lot in his music.
一. because, since和as引导的原因状语从句
because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”。
Exercises:
1. The doctor told ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the patient to go on a diet he was overweight.
A. on the condition of B. because
C. for D. when
2. the weather was fine, I opened all the windows.
A. As B. Because of C. For D. With
3. you are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )leaving tomorrow, we can eat dinner together tonight.
A. For B. Since
C. Before D. While
在强调句式中,若强调原因状语从句,只能用because引导的从句。
e.g. It was because he was ill that he didn’t go with us.
正因为他病了,他才没和我们一起去
二、for 和 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,s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ince总是表示因果关系,而且语气较强;而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,并且只能后置。
We did not go out because it was raining.因为下雨,我们没有出去。
It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet this morning.
昨晚一定下雨了,因为今天早上地都是湿的。

Overhead bridges ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(天桥) are found in many parts of Zhengzhou, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is very dangerous.
The purpose of these b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ridges is to make people cross road safely. Overhead bridges are used in the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (有效的)although less convenient because people have to climb up long steps. This is inconvenient especially to old people. When people using a zebra crossing, traffic is stopped. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help people and to keep traffic moving at the same time.
The govern ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ment of Zhengzhou has spent much money in building these bridges. For their own safety, people should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by running across the road.

“Sorry” is a wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d that people in Britain often say in their daily life. One day while I was w 1 on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing(轻擦)against my handbag. He continued his way, but turned b 2 and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn’t f 3 to say “sorry”. One day, after I bought some bananas, the shopkeeper was passing me the change, but I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped onto the ground. “Sorry, Madam, ” he said w 4 bending to pick it up. I was s 5 why he said “sorry” to me. Another time, I stepped on a man’s f 6 at the entrance to a cinema. At the same time, we b 7 said “sorry”.
