Adverbial Clause of Reason

• Purpose: Explains the reason why the action in the principal clause happens or does not happen.

• Position Rules:

  1. At the beginning: Clause starts with conjunction and ends with a comma; rest of the sentence is the principal clause.

     • Example: Because he was tired, he went to bed early.

  2. In the middle/end: Clause starts with conjunction but no comma needed at the end.

     • Example: He went to bed early because he was tired.

• Notes:

  1. Seeing that can replace Since or As to express in view of the fact.

     • Example: Seeing that the room is already full, the meeting may begin now.

  2. You can convert an adverbial clause of reason into two principal clauses using so.

     • Example: Since it was too dark to go on, we camped there. → It was too dark to go on, so we camped there.
