Feeling Excited
--why & because 引导句型询问和说明原因
Introduction
汉语中如果我们想询问一个现象的原因,我们会用“为什么”;而回答这类问题,我们会用“因为”。那么,在英语中,我们又该怎么说呢?
I am so tired!
I stayed up late last night.
Why are you tired?
I watched TV a lot.
Why did you stay late?
Because he didn't have breakfast today.
Summary
如果你想问一件事情的原因,你可以用 why 来提问,其中 why 这个疑问词相当于汉语中的为什么。
Eg: Why is you tired?
Why did you go to Beijing?
Summary
而回答 why 提问的特殊疑问句,我们一般用 because 引导的句子。because意为“因为”,与so“所以”相对,但两者不能同时使用。
Eg: Why is she happy?
Because she won the match.
Note:口语中,我们亦可以省略答句中的because。
Eg:Why are you tired?
I stayed up late.
