Conjunctions
The most important conjunctions are because, as, since, and so. “Because”, “as”, and
“since” introduce a cause; “so” introduces an effect. These are used to join two complete
sentences (or independent clauses) together. They are often used like this:
First sentence - conjunction - second sentence.
For example:
• I stayed at home because it was raining.
Or:
• It was raining, so I stayed at home. (use a comma before “so”)
• You can also reverse the order of the sentences with because, as, and since.
For example:
• Because it was raining, I stayed at home. (use a comma between the first and second
sentences)
