    Because is a connective preposition that introduces a full clause or -ing clause to express the reason for something stated in the main clause. It is followed by a clause explaining the cause or reason, and this reason clause can be placed before the main clause for emphasis. Examples show the typical structure of a main clause followed by "because" and a reason clause, such as "Tom earned a good salary because he worked so hard."
