LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIP
Background Information for Learners
Cause-and-effect sentences express how or why an event happened or what resulted
from an event. Usually, the cause and effect structure begins with the cause-clause and
ends with the effect-clause. Try to look at this table. Let us separate the cause from the
effect in the sentences presented above.
Always remember these two important notes:
1. Cause-and-effect sentences express how or why an event happened or what resulted
from an event.
2. The cause-and-effect sentences can be organized in one of these two primary ways:
• Start with the cause and then talk about the effect. • Start with the effect and then talk
about the cause. 3. Words signals or linkers can be used in connecting cause-and-
effect sentences. Most common are: Because, due to, since, so, as a result,
consequently, and If…then…
Let us go back to the article, “Why does the Sun Burn Us?” Let’s see if you can still
