Four ways to eliminate “because” • Flip the clauses and replace “because” with “so” • Replace “because” with a period, and capitalize the next letter • Replace “because” with a semicolon • Create a new sentence
Note: • In order to do the first three changes, there must be clauses on both sides of the “because”: • Because it was late, I had to leave early. • We had to take a different route because of the road conditions.
1. Flip the clauses, replace with “so” • We left early because it was late. • It was late, so we left early.
2. Change “because” to a period and capitalize the next letter • We left early because it was late. • We left early. It was late.
3. Replace “because” with a semicolon • We left early because it was late. • We left early; it was late.
4. Create a new sentence • We had to take a different route because of the road conditions. • The road conditions forced us to take a different route.
