# Source: ST §Adverbial Clauses with "Because"
$GRAMMAR "Because" — Two Positions
ID: l1-s15
INTRO: "Because" answers the question "why". It can sit in two places in the sentence — here's how.

CARD: The word "because" tells the reason for something. It can follow the main clause.
{I don't have any money because I spent it all yesterday.}
{I don't have any money because I lost my wallet.}

CARD: "Because" can also come first — then a comma separates the two clauses.
{Because I spent it all yesterday, I don't have any money.}
{Because it's the end of the month, I don't have any money.}

SUMMARY:
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| I don't have any money | because | I spent it all yesterday. |
| I don't have any money | because | it's the end of the month. |
| I don't have any money | because | I lost my wallet. |
