Effect
English 5 Q4 M2
Let’s define:
A cause is the reason why something
happens. It is the producer of the effect.
An effect, on the other hand, is the
result of the cause. It is produced by the
cause.
When we speak about the sequence by which these two
take place, the cause always happens first while the effect
happens next. However, when they are written as parts of
sentences, the order by which they appear may not be
according to what happened first or next as shown in the
examples below.
In order to identify the relationship properly,
ask what happens first and what happens
next. Once you master identifying the cause-
and-effect relationship, you can already begin
writing cause-and-effect relationships in
sentences and paragraphs.
In addition, to properly connect the relationships,
transitional words such as because, if, so, thus,
consequently, therefore, due to the fact, since, as a result
of, the reason for, nevertheless, lead to, and caused by are
used in the paragraph.
