A3. Abstraction
Cause-effect relationship is a relationship in which one event (the cause)
makes another event happen (the effect). It is when something happens
that makes something else happen, in other words, the cause creates the
effect.
 When we talk about a situation that makes another situation happen, we
talk about cause and effect.
To begin, you should know the definitions of cause, effect (noun), and affect (verb).

(When effect is a verb, it is spelled with an a = affect.)

Cause

(noun) a person or thing that makes something happen

 The cause of the accident was a flat tire.

(verb) an action that makes something happen

 The flat tire caused the car to wreck.

Effect

(noun) a change that is a result of an action or cause

 The snowstorm had an effect on his mood.

To express cause and effect in English, we us certain words and phrases.

 due to
 because of
 owing to
 thanks to
 as a consequence of
 as a result of
 because
 since
 as
 for

To express cause and effect, these words or phrases will either be followed by a noun or
