Giving reasons with “because” Xi Wang had to look after herself because her mother had another baby. Why did you go to Beijng Zoo ? Why didn’t you take any food for animals?

Why did you stay in the zoo for so much time? Why must we protect wild animals?

Giving reasons with “because of” It is very difficult for giant pandas to survive in the wild because of many reasons. All the people cheered / the wonderful show

Lots of people know about the show/ the ads. The dolphins were really tired/the performance Some students couldn't go to the show/the exam

Giving reasons with “because of” 1. Why is the ground all wet? (flood) The ground was all wet because of the flood. 2. Why is he so happy? (got an A for English)

3. Why is she so sad? (lost her pen) 4. Why is the baby crying? (hunger) 5. Why didn’t you go to the show? (the maths exam)

Work out the rules: We can use “because” and “because of” to give the reason(s) for something. The word “because” introduces the clause of reason and we usually put it in the middle of a sentence. We use a noun, a noun phrase or a pronoun after “because of”.
