✔ 最佳答案
兩個都岩
不過中學來說
回答問題時要長答(即完整句子)
Because開頭的係短答,通常係平時講野用,因此外國人便用Because開頭
It is because通常係用於閱讀理解,文法是很重要
因此要用完整句子作答,所以要加「It is」在頭
「It」係指該問題
「It is because」可解作
「這條問題的原因是」

BECAUSE 是一個conjunction(連接詞). E.g. I do it because I like it. E.g. I came back because it rained. Pattern : AAAAA because BBBBB. (因為BBBBB, 所以AAAAA.)

就英語文法而言,無論是AAAAA because BBBBB. 或是 Because BBBBB, so AAAAA. 或是 Because BBBBB, AAAAA. 都是對的。

其實像任何其他語言一樣,習慣多是把你要加強語氣的部份放在句子前面,甚至讀出來的時候,音調也由高至低,由大聲轉輕聲。 E.g. 有人質問你Why can’t you do it now? 因為氣結,你會用短句厲聲反駁Because I am too busy! ( 原句是Because I am too busy, so I can’t do it now! 或 I can’t do it now because I am too busy! )

另外情況,老師問你What was the reason for your absence? 你可以答 The reason for my absence was that I was ill. 這般答聽起來很像幼稚園學生,你都大個仔啦,為了省點兒氣力,又或省點兒時間,你可用代名詞it 代替 The reason for my absence , 句子便簡化成為It was because I was ill. 旁人聽得是不是舒服多呢?

由此可見,無論是Because …. 或 It is because ….,都不是錯的,最重要還是你想做一個甚麼樣的句子或說話來表達你心中的意思。

但請注意,若你的句子前後有重覆意思的字,就有可能是poor English. E.g. The reason for my absence was because I was ill. 前邊已用reason,後邊又用because, 論唔論盡?? 還是改用The reason for my absence was that I was ill. 比較好。

其實....
用because 應該講番成條問題果舊野先

例:Why don't you go to school
I don't go to school because........

但係 咁樣寫 實在太煩太多野

所以簡化左做It is because

不過其實係錯的

仲有另一個版本係 this is because

其實我覺得e家都唔知想點

你跟你e家既老師做番吧
