1. because 表示的原因是必然的因果關係，語氣較強，通常放在主句之後，若需強調則放在主句之前。
2. 通常用來回答 why提出的問題。如：
A：Why can’t you do it now?你為什麼不現在就做呢？
B：Because I’m too busy. 因為我太忙。
3. 可引導從句作表語。如：
It is because he is foolish. 那是因為他太蠢了。
4. 可用於強調句。如：
It is because he is honest that we likehim. 是因為他誠實我們才喜歡他。
5. 用於 because of, 意為“因為”，用法注意：
是複合介詞，其後可接名詞、代詞、動名詞以及由關係代詞型的 what 所引導的從句等。如：
He couldn’t come because of illness. 他因病不能來。
I said nothing about it, because of his wife’sbeing there. 因為他妻子在那兒，我對此事隻字未提。
He knew shewas crying because of what he had said. 他知道她哭是因為他説的話。
注意：
because of不能直接引導從句或後接that引導的從句。如：
他不能來是因為他病了。
正：He can’t come because he is ill.
正：He can’t come because of his illness.
誤：He can’t come because of he is ill.
誤：He can’t come because of that he is ill.
because of 一般引導狀語，不引導表語 。如：
正：His absence is due to the rain. 他因雨未來。
誤：His absence is because of the rain.
但是若主語是代詞 ，because of 引出的短語則可用作表語。如：
It is just because of money. 那只是因為錢的原因。
6. 關於 because, since, as, for 的用法區別
. because 可用來回答why提出的問題；可以引導表語從句；可用於強調句等，而其餘三者則不行。
because 表示的是必然的`因果關係，語氣最強，通常放在主句之後，若需強調則放在主句之前；since, as所表示的原因是人們已知的，是對已知事實提供理由，而不表示直接原因。它們引導的從句通常放在主句之前，有時也放在主句之後。如：
As he wasn’t ready in time, wewent without him. 因他未及時準備好，我們沒等他就先走了。
Since we have no money, it’s no good thinking about a holiday. 既然我們沒有錢，考慮度假有什麼用。
至於 for, 它是並列連詞 ，它有時可表示因果關係 ;有時不表示因果關係，而是對前面分句內容的解釋或推斷 。試比較。如：
①The ground is wet, for it rained last night. 地面是濕的，因為昨晚下過雨。
②It must have rained last night, for the ground is wetthis morning. 昨晚一定下過雨，你看今天早上地面是濕的。
7. not…because…這一結構中的 not 有時否定主句，有時否定從句，一般要根據句子的意思作出正確或合乎邏輯的理解。若not否定主句，最好在because之前用逗號，否則會引起歧義，如下句在沒有特定上下文時就有兩種解釋。如：
I didn’t go because I was afraid.
我沒有去是因為怕。
我不是因為怕才去。
不過若because之前有just修飾，一般認為not 是否定從句而不是主句。如：
You shouldn’t get angry just because some people speakill of you. 你不要因為有人説你壞話而生氣。
He was not readyto believe something just because Aristotle said so. 他並不只是因為亞里士多德説過如何如何，就輕易相信它。
8. 表示“…的原因是因為…”這一意義時，一般要用下面這樣的句型。如：
The reason why he can’t come is that he is tired. 他不能來是因為他累了。
在這一結構中儘管不少人認為可將that改用 because, 但也有不少人反對這一用法，學生宜慎用。
9. 漢語習慣上説“因為…所以…”，但在英語裏卻不能將 so與because 連用。如：
因為下雨，所以我們呆在家裏。
正：Because it was raining, we stayed at home.
正：It was raining, so we stayed at home.
誤：Because it was raining, so we stayed at home.
英 [bɪˈkɒz] 美 [bɪˈkɔz]
conj. 因為；
