两步弄清because是如何引导状语从句
注意:(1)because 习惯上不与so 连用。在汉语中我们习惯上说“因为…所以…”但在英语中却不能将二者连用。如:
Because it was raining,we stayed at home.
因为下雨,所以我们待在家里。
或It was raining ,so we stayed at home.
错误说法:Because it was raining ,so we stayed at home.
(2)because引导的原因状语从句有时可以与because of互换,但because of后面接名词或短语。如:
He can’t come because he is ill.=He can’t come because of his illness.
因为生病,所以他没来。
