Definition Cause and Effect
Cause and effect is a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the
other or others. This is a combination of action and reaction.
A cause-effect relationship is a relationship in which one event (the cause) makes another
event happen (the effect). One cause can have several effects. For example, let's say you
were conducting an experiment using regular high school students with no athletic ability.
The purpose of our experiment is to see if becoming an all-star athlete would increase their
attractiveness and popularity ratings among other high school students.
Cause = we can use several words, such as because, as, since, for. The words are followed
by complete sentences or clauses. The word ‘for’ is coordinating conjunction.
Effect = we can use several words, such as so, therefore, as a result, consequently. The
word ‘so’ is coordinating conjuction, while ‘therefore’, ‘as a result’, ‘consequently’ are
conjuction adverbs
