Grammar
1. When we talk about a situation that makes another situation happen, we talk about cause and effect. In
English, we use a certain expression such as because, due to, since, as etc.
Causes is why something happened, Effect is the result of what happened. Because effects always have
causes and causes always lead to effects, we rarely see one without the other.

1. It had begun to rain so the children had to run outside.
Cause : It had begun to rain.
Effect : The children had to run outside.
Key word : so
