🌡️ The 'Reason' Pattern

In A2 English, we connect a fact to a reason using the word because.

How it works: [Fact/Action] \rightarrow because \rightarrow [The Reason]

Examples from the text:

  • Parents want cool rooms \rightarrow because \rightarrow babies need to sleep.
  • Local people stay in hotels \rightarrow because \rightarrow their homes are too hot.
  • People work from hotels \rightarrow because \rightarrow they have shade.
