Understanding Cause and Effect Concepts

Cause and effect means exploring how certain actions or events (causes) result in other actions or events (effects). Expressing cause can be done through phrases like "for example", "so", "because", and "due to". Expressing effect can be done through phrases like "as a result", "then", "hence", and "in order to". Cause and effect sentences follow formulas like "Effect + conjunction + cause" or "conjunction + cause + effect". Linking words like "so", "then", and "hence" connect the cause and effect.
