Since 可用于省略句，其他不能Since so, there is no more to be said.asas 引导的原因状语从句时表示附带说明的“双方已知的原因”，语气比since弱，较为正式，位置灵活（常置于主句前）。As it is raining, youd better take a taxi.Because of句型becauseof是固定短语，后接名词，或名词性短语。表示“由于”，“因为”。它可引导介词短语作表语，也可引导短语作状语。Hecantgotoschoolbecauseofsickness.他因病不能上学。 Becauseofhiswoundedleg, hecouldnotwalksofastastheothers.因为一条腿受了伤，他不能和其他人走得一样快。Step2 Practice. 单项选择。 1. -Tom isnt feeling very well. -He seems to have a cold _ the weather changes suddenly. （xx安徽）A. before B. so C. because D. though2. _ youve got a chance, you might as well make fun use of it.A.
