The Purpose of Cause and Effect in Writing
A cause is something that produces an event or condition; an effect is what results from an event or condition.
A conjunction that states a cause
The following conjunctions are conjunctions used to denote a cause. Each conjunction has a different rule of use. Check out the following explanation.
For is one of the coordinating conjunctions, or conjunctions used to connect two independent clauses. For is generally used in formal writing.
Example:
Many people are waiting in front of the store, for today is the launching of the newest smartphone.
So is also a coordinating conjunction. The difference with for, so is more often used in conversation.
Example:
Today the newest smartphone is being launched, so I'm waiting in front of the store.
Because is one of the subordingating conjuntions, or conjunctions used to connect independent clause and dependent clause. Because can be used in written form or in conversation.
Example:
We don't have to bring headset for listening test because Mr Rahmat has provided it.
or we can also use because with a pattern like the following:
Because Mr. Rahmat has provided it, we don't have to bring hoodset for listening test
Because of is usually followed by a noun because of itself is a preposition or preposition.
Example:
Because of the rain the English camp is postponed
The reason for can be defined as the reason why or the cause of. This phrase has a preposition for at the end, so we'd better place the noun after it.
Example:
The reason for land slide in my village is deforestation by illegal miners.
On account of means cause or because this phrase is usually followed by a noun because the word of at the end of the phrase is a preposition.
Example:
The concert is canceled on account of corona virus plague
Bring about means to cause.
Example:
The news of corona virus brings about panic all over the country
Give rise to can be interpreted as a cause to occur, a cause or cause. The word that is written after it is usually a noun.
Example:
Illegal parking lot gave rise to traffic jam in this city
Created by in this context is meaningful by. This means that the phrase serves to show a cause and effect relationship.
Example:
The big crash between truck and bus created by low visibility The hare was thick at that time.
Contributed to can be interpreted as a cause.
Example:
Groody and corruption contributed to devastation of this country
Led to means cause.
Example:
The brawl led him to leave his girlfriend forever
Due to is a compound preposition. This means that the word written after it is hanis is a noun or gerund. Due to itself means because, caused or because of. Due to is usually used in formal situations or in writing because it is more formal than because of.
Example:
Everybody stays at home due to impending storm
Or we can also write the kaimat using a pattern like the following:
Due to impeding storm, everybody stays at home
For this reason is meaningful for this reason.
Example:
Eduardo wants to be with his family For this reason he left his job last month.
We can find the meaning of unless in most dictionaries meaning unless or unless.
Example:
You won't pass the exam unless you study hard
The example sentence uses unless as a causal relationship. In that sentence we know that the cause of not passing is if we don't study hard.
A conjunction to show the result (Effect)
We will continue to discuss cause and effect uses, functions and examples on the use of conjunctions to show effects. Here are some conjunctions that are often used to show results.
As a result is a phrase that is used to denote the effect of something. We can interpret as a result as a result of.
Example:
Several houses are damaged as a result of earth quake that stroke one hour ago
or we can also use it with a pattern like the following:
Rifki plays online game during work hours as a result, he is suspended
We can interpret then in this context as then. That is because then is used as a conjunction to denote the effect.
Example:
Andrea plays truant today then she gets a punishment from her homeroom teacher.
Hence means because of that or because of that. Hence is usually used in formal situations.
Example:
Mr. Smith will go to Papua next week hence, he orders the ticket
For this reason means for this reason.
Example:
The victims of hit and run keeps increasing, for this reason the police puts surveillance cameras every corner
The meaning is therefore or therefore commonly used in formal situations and in writing.
Example:
Lisa always gets A on Math tests therefore, she is chosen to represent this school at olympic of math
In the context of the discussion of maternal causes and effect outcomes, the meaning of consequences.
Example:
The blackout last night was the outcome of the electricity surge at the main power house
So in this case means so or so. So is more often used in a conversation than in writing.
Example:
the gloomy today, so everyone brings the umbrella.
Consequently means as a result, therefore or therefore. Just like therefore, consequently is often used in written form and in formal situations.
Example:
He never wears jacket when he drives motorcycle consequently, he is sick.
in order to means in order or so that its use is not much different from so.
Example:
