Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Action' Connection
Look at how the text connects a reason to a result. This is a key skill for A2 English.
The Pattern:
Because + [Reason] [Result]
From the text: "Because they pay a lot, some parents think they can change the school rules."
Breakdown for you:
- Reason: Parents pay a lot of money.
- Result: They think they can change rules.
Try these simple shifts:
- Because it is raining I have an umbrella.
- Because I am tired I go to bed.
- Because the school is private it costs money.
Quick Tip: Always put the 'Why' (the reason) immediately after the word Because.
