C. Lesson Proper
In composition, cause and effect is a method of paragraph or essay development in

which a writer organizes his/her ideas by relating a cause to its effect.
The cause is an event or an action that tells why something happens.
The effect tells what happens as a result of an event or action.
What happens is called the EFFECT.
Why it happens is called the CAUSE.
Important signal words are also evident in writing using a cause-and-effect structure.
These help the reader identify the causes and effects.

C. Lesson Proper
A cause is the reason why something happens. It is the produces of the effect. An
effect, on the other hand, is the result of the cause. It is produced by the cause.
When we speak about the sequence by which these two takes place, the cause
always happens first while the effect happens next. However, when they are written as
parts of sentences, the order by which they appear may not be according to what
happened first or next as shown in the examples below.
A heavy rain lasted for two hours, so the streets were flooded.
(cause) (effect)
The streets were flooded because the heavy rain lasted for two hours.
(effect) (cause)
In order to identify the relationship properly, ask what happens first and what happens
next.

writing cause -and-effect relationships in sentences and paragraphs.

Writing a cause-and-effect paragraph involves understanding the logic or

A paragraph has three main parts: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.
Good compositions are organized and carefully well-developed.
The introduction is the first paragraph. It introduces

the topic. It tells us something interesting about it. Some
writers begin a paragraph with a question or an anecdote.
The introduction aims to hook the readers to read on.
The body is the second paragraph. This gives the

reader specific information about the topic. Supporting
details are given like explanations, facts, examples, and
methods or procedures.
The conclusion is the last paragraph. This is shorter compared to the body. It should
give the reader a final thought, an interesting point to think about.

events. They show how one event or action triggers an outcome. They may also show

Headaches can have several causes. One obvious cause is stress. People have
hectic lives and frequently have multiple stressors everyday, like work, family and money.

have low blood sugar. The environment can also cause this uncomfortable condition.
