cause and effect

Assalamualaikum WR.WB

Hello I am Sarah, here I will deliver material about cause and effect. let's take a look at the material.

A | DEFINITION

Cause and effect text is a type of paragraph that contains the author's analysis of cause and effect. This paragraph begins with the causes which are outlined at the beginning of the sentence and is then drawn to a general conclusion which is the result of the described causes.

This cause and effect paragraph model is often used in writing essays and text explanations. This is because this model is considered to have a clear and structured flow of ideas, so that readers can easily understand it when reading it.

B | STRUCTURE

The cause and effect paragraph has the following structure:

a | Have a main idea on the topic of sentences that will be covered in the whole paragraph.

b | Have supporting details or supporting sentences in the form of causes.

c | End with a concluding sentence or a conclusion in the form of a result.

cause and effect. Namely, types of compound sentences that have causes and can lead to effects. Cause means something that happens, while effect is the result or result of the incident.

Typically, these sentences are characterized by a marker word or phrase called a connector. Because it is often used in conjunction with a degree of comparison sentence,

Cause and effect is divided into two, namely those that are followed by nouns, verbs or clauses. To master it, you need to first compare the cause and effect sentences.

Cause and effect + Noun

Formula 1:

Connector + Cause, + Effect

Connector:

due to, owing to, because of, as a result of, as a consequence of

Example:

Due to the storm we cannot go to the beach.

(connector) + (cause) + (effect)

Another example:

Owing to her kindness, Mia gave her a gift. (Because of his kindness, Mia gave him a gift.)

Because of this cooking book, I am able to cook my own meal. (Because of this cookbook, I can cook my own food.)

Formula 2:

Effect + Connector + Cause

I got sick due to the cold weather.

(effect) + (connector) + (cause)

Another example:

The car was broken as a result of her recklessness. (His car was damaged by his carelessness.)

Alvin got a warning as a consequence of his laziness. (Alvin got a warning for his laziness.)

She was late because of her bad sleeping habit. (She was late because of her bad sleep schedule.)

Cause and effect + Verb or Clause

Connectors: because, because, for, then, therefore, thus, as a result

Example:

This bag is expensive because the famous brand Chanel made it. (This bag is really expensive due to the release of a well-known brand called Chanel.)
