Expressing cause and Effect

In this lesson, we’re going to discuss how to express cause and effect and connective words that we need for this,

         Also to know the ways in which you can link causes and effects.

      A cause is the event that happens first, is something that makes something else happen (the reason)

    An effect is what happens as a result of the cause (the result)

There is what is called cause and effect relationship → When there is a cause, there is also an effect, and when there is an effect, there is also a cause

• To determine the cause , you must ask the question

                          “Why did it happen?”

• To determine the effect, you must ask the question

                            “What happened?”
