Since 同 so 有什麼分別?

Since是由於
so是所以

Since and so is really different..

Since: since is a adverb and it means 因為 here is an example( SINCE my brother is hurt, SO we cant go to the mall)

So: so is an adverb too but it uses differently like ( I am going to a football game, so we cant go to the supermarket!!)

Hope this can thelp you!!

since:we use since to give reasons. e.g. since ka foo is tall , mr.lee wants him to be the goalkeeper. so:we use so to talk about results. e.g. ka foo is tall ,so mr.lee wants him to be the goalkeeper.
