你下次来，请把作文带来。
Grammar（Ⅱ）原因状语从句
一. 引导原因状语从句的连词主要有because， as ， since， now that等。
1. because 所表示的原因有强烈的因果关系。 从句放在主句后。 回答why 提出的问题时，一定要用because。
e.g.
I do it because I like it.
我们做这件事是因为我喜欢。
-------- Why didn’t you come to the party yesterday？
-------- Because I attended an important meeting.
-----你昨晚为什么没来参加晚会？
------- 因为我参加了一个重要会议。
2. since 一般表示对方已知的，无需加以说明的既成事实的理由，全句中心在主句，语气比because弱，常译为“既然”。 now that 与 since 意思。接近，表示“既然，鉴于”。Since，now that 引导的从句常放在句首。

e.g.
As it is snowing， we shall not go to the park。
由于正在下雪，我们不去公园了。
4. for： “因为”，但它不是从属连词，而是并列连词。不是用来说明，补充解释或表示一种推理，所以for 引导的句子一般不放在句首。

我们得早点出发，因为我们有很长一段路要走。
He must have done it by himself, for there was no one else in the room.
