本单元语法：
原因状语从句：
辨析because, since, as, for和 due to 引导的原因状语从句
1. because（因为）：表示直接原因或理由，着重点在从句，用于回答why引起的特殊疑问句，语气最强，如果原因是构成句子的最主要部分，一般用because。because引导的从句一般不放在句子的开头。
eg: he didn’t go to school because he was ill. 他没去上学是因为他病了
i missed the train because i got up late. 我错过了火车因为我起来晚了
the swimming pool won’t be open today because they’re making repairs.
游泳池今天不开放，因为他们在修理
2. since（既然）： 一般表示对方已知的，无须加以说明的即成事实的理由，全句中心在主句，语气比because稍弱。
eg: since you are ill, i’ll go alone. 既然你病了，那我自己去
i’ll do it for you since you are busy. 既然你忙了，我来替你做吧
since we have no money, we can’t buy that vase.
既然我们没钱，我们就不能买那花瓶
3. as(由于)：表示十分明显的原因，一般说明因果关系，着重点在主句，语气较弱，引导的从句通常放在句首，有时也放在句尾。
eg: as it is snowing, we shall not go to the park.由于正在下雪，我们不会去公园了
as it is raining, you ‘d better take a taxi. 天下雨了，你最好乘出租车
as everybody has arrived now, we can set off. 既然大家都到了，我们可以动身了。
4. for(因为，其理由是)：是个并列连词，只能放在另一个并列句后面，表示推理或解释，或用作附加说明，表示新的情况，而不是指理由或原因，语气最弱，一般不放在句首。
eg: she was angry with him for being late. 因为他迟到，所以她生气
we must leave now, for the film begins at seven.
我们得走了，因为电影七点钟开始放映
（for 表示因果关系时，可以同because交替使用，但for前须用逗号，而because则不必。）
5. due to(由于，应归于)： 和because of 用法基本一样，后接名词或名词性短语。严格地说，“due to” 不管是当 “由于” 或 “应归于” 解，都不放在句首，最好是在be动词之后，
eg: the company’s problems are due to bad management and staff shortage
公司的问题是由于糟糕的管理和人员短缺造成的
some staff came late, due to traffic congestion. 一些人来晚了是由于交通拥挤
due to the bad weather, our concert have to be put off.
由于恶劣的天气，我们的音乐会不得不被推迟
