BECAUSE - SO


Theory:

BECAUSE is used to explain why an action is done.
EXAMPLE:
He ate the cake
- why did he eat the cake?
- BECAUSE he was hungry.

SO is used to explain the consequence of a situation.
EXAMPLE:
He was hungry - SO he ate the cake.

BECAUSE and SO are related because CAUSE and CONSEQUENCE are related.

This means a sentence using BECAUSE can be transformed into a sentence using SO,
and a sentence using SO can be transformed into a sentence using BECAUSE.
