Connectors like because, because of, since, and for are used to introduce clauses, while due to/owing to are used when the cause follows a noun.

- 2. CONNECTORS: CAUSE AND EFFECT. They can use when you want to introduce at the causes of the text when a sentence serves as the cause of another. For example: - Because - Because of - Due to - Since - For - As
- 3. BECAUSE We use because before a clause (a sentence subject verb and complement). For example: - * The baby is crying because he is hungry. El bebé está llorando porque tiene hambre. * I went to sleep because I was tired. Fuí a dormir porque estaba cansado.
- 4. BECAUSE OF We use because of when you put the noun after the reason. For example: *They stayed in because of the bad weather. Ellos se quedaron en casa debido al mal tiempo. *She can not play sports because of her illness. Ella no puede hacer deportes debido a su enfermedad.
- 5. DUE TO/ OWING TO Due to: means "caused by." It should be used only if it can be substituted with "caused by." It does not mean the same as "because of.“ For example: *The unemployment was high due to the economic crisis. El desempleo era alto debido a la crisis económica. * They had a delay owing to the traffic jam. Tuvieron una demora debido al embotellamiento de tráfico.
- 6. SINCE For example: * He won't understand, since he doesn't speak English. No entenderá, puesto que no habla inglés. * They decided to go to sleep, since it was very late. Decidieron irse a dormir, puesto que era muy tarde.
- 7. FOR For example: * We'll have to stay home, for it is raining outside. Tendremos que quedarnos en casa porque está lloviendo afuera. * She turned on the lights, for she was afraid of the dark. Encendió las luces porque tenía miedo a la oscuridad.
- 8. AS We use to xpress many things: time, contrast, cause, etc… For example: * She failed to pass the exam, as she made many mistakes. No pudo pasar el examen, puesto que cometió muchos errores. *They couldn't find us, as they didn't have our address. No pudieron encontrarnos, ya que no tenían nuestra dirección.
