because of和because的區(qū)別在于because of后面常接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)名詞或由what引導(dǎo)的從句(但不是直接接從句),而because后常用于引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句,其通常用于表示因果關(guān)系,通常用來(lái)回答由why引導(dǎo)的疑問(wèn)句。
1.because是連詞,其后接句子;because of是復(fù)合介詞,其后接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)名詞、what從句等。
如:I didn’t buy it because it was too expensive.我沒(méi)有買(mǎi)是因?yàn)樗F了。
He is here because of you (that).他為你(那事)而來(lái)這里。
He lost his job because of his age.由于年齡關(guān)系他失去了工作。
We said nothing about it, because of his wife’s being there.因?yàn)樗拮釉谀莾海覀儗?duì)此只字未提。
He knew she was crying because of what he had said.他知道她哭是因?yàn)樗f(shuō)的話。
注:because of之后可接what從句,但不能接that從句或沒(méi)有引導(dǎo)詞的`句子。
如:他因病未來(lái)。
誤:He didn’t come because of he was ill.
誤:He didn’t come because of that he was ill.
正:He didn’t come because he was ill.
正:He didn’t come because of his illness.
2. because 所引導(dǎo)的從句除用作原因狀語(yǔ)外,還可用作表語(yǔ)。
如:It is because he loves you.那是因?yàn)樗麗?ài)你。
而復(fù)合介詞 because of所引導(dǎo)的介詞短語(yǔ)通常用作狀語(yǔ)而不用作表語(yǔ)。
如:他因雨缺席。
誤:His absence was because of the rain.
正:His absence was due to the rain.
正:He was absent because of the rain.
但是有時(shí)若主語(yǔ)是代詞(不是名詞),也可以用because of引出的短語(yǔ)作表語(yǔ)。
如:It is just because of money.那只是因?yàn)殄X(qián)的原因。
That was because of his sickness.那是因?yàn)樗〉脑颉?/p>
