as和because表示原因的区别
as和because表示原因的区别
He worked and studied very hard ___________he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy.这句表示因果关系用because,可以用as 为什么?
用because
原因状语从句一般由because, since, as, for引导?注意as,because,since和for的区别:
①如果原因是构成句子的最主要部分,一般用because.because引导的从句一般不放在句子的开头.例如:
I missed the train because I got up late.
注:对于以why开头的问句,一般只能用because引导的从句来回答.
②如果原因已为人们所知,或不如句子的其余部分重要,就用as或since、since比as稍微正式一些.as和since引导的从句一般放在句子的开头.例如:
As he was not well,I decided to go there without him.
Since this method doesn't work, let's try another.
③for表示所说的理由是一种补充说明,因此,for引导的从句可以放在括号里,而且for引导的从句一般不放在句子的开头.例如:
I decided to stop and have lunch, for I was feeling quite hungry.
because, for, since和as
这四个词作为连词,都有“因为”的意思,都可以用来作为一个动作或情况提供原因或理由,但它们在用法上有区别:
because是从属连词,接表示直接原因的从句,往往放在句末(有时也放在句首),直接明白地说明因果关系.因此,在回答why的提问时或原句有just, only, not…but all等副词强调原因时必须用because.
for是并列连语.接表示间接原因的并列分句,所说的理由是一种补充.说明for引导的句子一般放在句尾.试比较:
He isn't here today because he is ill.因为他病了,所以他今天没有来.
He must be ill, for he isn't here.他今天没来,看来一定是生病了.
since和as是从属连词,说明的是已为人们所知和理由.since的语气比because弱,但比as强.since和as引导的从句一般放在句子的开头.
Since he was busy, he didn't come.
他因为忙,所以没来.
As I have a day off today, I'll write to you.
因为我今天有一天假,所以就给你写信.
此外,since也可以述说推断的理.如:
It must have rained, since the ground is wet.
一定下过雨,因为地是湿的.
because,since,as,for这些词在实际使用中都可以用做连词,当做“因为”、“由于”来讲,但要注意它们所表达意思的语气的顺序是be-cause,since,as,for,而且它们的具体用法还存在很大区别,我们千万不能混淆这四个词.
because表示“因为”,用来表示最直接的因果关系或是听话人所不知道的原因,它所表达的语气是这四个词中最为强烈的,它所引导的原因状语从句一般要放在主句之后.
还要注意两种情况也只能用because来回答:1、用why来提问的特殊疑问句的回答,只能用because;2、在强调句中,只能用because.
例:1、He didn’t attend the meeting because he had too much work to do.
2、It is because it rained last week that they put off the match.
since在语气上仅次于be鄄cause,更加强调“既然”、“由于”,用来表示大家已然知道的事实.
例:Since we have no money,we can’t buy it.
as在语气上稍弱于since,不如since正式,而且经常用于口语.
例:As he wasn’t ready in time,we went without him.for是四个词当中表示“因为”、“由于”意思时语气最弱的一个,它实际只是对它前面的主句加以补充说明理由或推断原因,要用分号和前面的主句分开.
例:I asked hertostay to tea, for I had something to tell her.

key:1、A2、A3、D
Because 多用于表示直接原因, 而 for 可以表示原因又可以用于提出说明, 语气比 because 轻得多. Because 引导的从句一般放在主句后, 有时也可放在主句前, 而 for 引导的句子只能放在后面.
