because 同 because of 字義上解釋都是--因為;由於.
但because後面都有一個完整的「子句」.
例如: He was absent because he had a date yesterday.其中he had a date yesterday就是一個完整的子句.有主詞+動詞+時間.
而because of後面都有接一個名詞(或動名詞).
例如: I fall in love with her because of the weather.
The main difference between them is:
'Because' is an introduction of a statement. So, after because, there MUST be a verb.
'Because of' is an introduction of something or someone. So, after because of, there MUST be no verbs.
because 後面一定要跟一句sentence
Example: Because he worked hard, he scored 100 marks.
because of 後面一定要跟noun或者noun phrase
Example: Because of his hard work, he scored 100 marks.
