2. In this lesson we learn the usage of CONNECTORS OF
REASON, CAUSE & PURPOSE.
We use the following connectors to introduce the above.
Because, As, Since, Seeing that
Let us study the following pair of sentences.
I did not go to school. I was sick.
By observing the above two sentences we understood that the
second sentences gives the reason for the first sentence.

3. The connectors of Reason, Cause and purpose should be
joined to that clause which proposes them.
Hence, by joining the above sentences, we write as follows:
I did not go to school because I was ill.
I did not go to school as I was ill.
I did not go to school seeing that I was ill.
As the above sentences are complex sentences we can write
them by changing the clauses.
Because I was ill, I did not go to school.
Seeing that I was ill, I did not go to school.
As I was ill, I did not go to school.

4. Let us study another example.
I will certainly help you. You are a friend.
Because you are a friend, I will certainly help you.
As you are a friend, I will certainly help you.
Seeing you are a friend, I will certainly help you.
I will certainly help you because you are a friend.
I will certainly help you as you are a friend.
I will certainly help you seeing you are a friend.
In our next lesson we learn another set of CONNECTORS -
REASON, CAUSE & PURPOSE.
LET LEARNING CONTINUES.
