because as since for的用法区别 (because for与since和as的区别)

as、because、since和for,都用来表示“因为,由于”,在句子中充当连词,连接表示原因的复合句,但在用法上有一些差异。

1.as表示“因为、由于”,作为从属连词,它的语气比because和since轻,表达的是明显的或者已知的理由。从位置上看,as引导的从句常放在主句前边,也就是句首,从句后面加逗号。比如:

becausesinceasfor要加逗号吗,asbecausesince的区别

As you were out, I left a message.你不在,所以我留了一张字条儿。As he was not ready in time,we went without him.由于他没有及时准备好,我们没有等他就走了。

2.because的意思是“因为”,语气比since和as强,用来表示直接的原因。当回答why的问题时,只能用because,不能用since、as或者for。另外需要注意的是,在强调句型中也只能用because。because引导的从句和主句关系密切,因此通常位于主句之后。比如:

becausesinceasfor要加逗号吗,asbecausesince的区别

I started to cry because I cut my finger.因为割破了自己的手指,我哭了起来。I didn't get it because it cost too much. 因为那东西太昂贵我没买。I do it because I like it.我这样做是因为我喜欢这样做。

It is because they are in need of help that we are prepared to help them.正是因为他们需要帮助,所以我们准备帮助他们

3.since的意思是“因为;既然”,它多表示间接或者附带的原因。语气要比as强。since引导的从句常放在主句之前,其后用逗号。比如:

becausesinceasfor要加逗号吗,asbecausesince的区别

Since we were in the area, we'd stop by and see them.既然到了这个地方,就该顺便去看看他们。Since she retired she's kept herself very busy.自从退休后,她一直没闲着。Since you know nothing about it,I'll tell you from the beginning.既然你一点也不知道,那我从头讲起。

4.for的意思是“因为”,多用来补充说明理由或者推断其原因。for的语气比较轻,它所引导的分句或者句子必须放在后面。另外,for比较正式,在口语中用的较少。比如:

becausesinceasfor要加逗号吗,asbecausesince的区别

The old lady does not go out in the winter, for she feels the cold a great deal.这个老太太冬天不出门,因为它特别怕冷。We listened eagerly, for he brought news of our families. 我们急不可待地听着,因为他带来了我们家人的消息。

I believed her—for surely she would not lie to me. 我相信她的话—因为她肯定不会向我撒谎。
