Phrasal Verbs:- fire off -
43 because
cj потому что, так как (1). Союз because вводит придаточное предложение причины, обычно следующее за главным:I couldn't come because I was very busy — Я не мог придти, так как был очень занят.
Причинная связь между членами предложения или между предложениями может быть выражена, кроме союза because, другими близкими причинными словами и словосочетаниями:since — поскольку,
as — так как,
that's why — поэтому,
thanks to — благодаря тому что,
on account of, owing to, due to — из-за того что,
through, from, because of — из-за.
Since/as I couldn't wait any longer, I left him a note — Поскольку я не мог больше ждать, я оставил ему записку.
We had to stay inside on account of the rain — Нам пришлось остаться в помещении из-за дождя.
His failure was due to his lack of experience — Он потерпел неудачу из-за неопытности/недостатка опыта.
We lost that game through poor teamwork — Мы проиграли эту игру из-за несыгранности команды.
The dog died from eating poison — Собака сдохла, так как съела отраву.
В тех случаях, когда придаточное причины вводится союзами since и as, оно может стоять как в начале сложного предложения, до главного, так и после него:He couldn't come to see us off as he was very busy или As he was very busy he couldn't come to see us off.
Союзные конструкции on account of, owing to, due to чаще употребляются в письменной, более официальной речи. (2). Придаточное причины может быть усилено наречиями especially, particularly. В этих случаях, независимо от союза, которым вводится придаточное причины, оно стоит после главного:It was nice to have someone to talk to, particularly as/since/because I was going to stay there all night — Приятно, что было с кем поговорить, особенно потому, что мне предстояло пробыть там всю ночь.
(3). Если придаточное предложение, вводимое since, as, because, стоит перед главным, то это придаточное отделяется запятой:Since/as he had no time, he couldn't meet us.
Если же придаточное причины стоит после главного, то запятая не ставится:He couldn't meet us because/as he was very busy.
