The 'Because' Bridge

When you want to explain why something happens, use the word because. It connects a feeling or a choice to a reason.

How it works in the text:

  • Like Spotify \rightarrow because it has new tools.
  • Like Visa \rightarrow because people use electronic payments.
  • Like O'Reilly \rightarrow because it has good stores.

Simple Patterns for A2:

  1. [Person/Bank] + likes + [Thing] \rightarrow Goldman Sachs likes NetEase.
  2. [Reason] \rightarrow It does not spend too much money.

Combine them: "I like this phone because it is cheap." "The bank likes Walmart because it has low prices."

Quick Tip: Always put the 'reason' after the word because.
