Cause

why something happens

Effect

what happens; its the result

To recognize cause and effect relationships, follow these:

a. Look for stated cause-and-effect relationships.

The cause always happens before the effect; something happens which leads to a result. You can present the cause first then give its result, or you can present the effects first and then look at the cause.

b. Look for unstated cause-and-effect relationship.

To

find the effect, ask yourself: What happened? To find the cause, ask yourself: Why did it happen?

c. Look for signal words.
