Expressing Cause and Effect describes a causal relationship and can take the form of clauses
or sentences. If it is a clause, it is usually contained in the same sentence and separated by
commas. Meanwhile, if it is in the form of a sentence, it usually consists of two related

sentences.

Cause is something, someone, or action that causes something else to happen. Meanwhile,
the effect is something else caused by that cause. In other words, cause is cause and effect

is effect. In practice, the assignment of causes and effects does not always have to be cause
first. It could be that the effect is placed at the beginning of the sentence or in the first
sentence, followed by a cause that explains why. However, the more general order is the
mention of cause first followed by effect.

To connect the cause and effect, a linking word is needed. This linking word indicates a
cause-and-effect relationship between two clauses or sentences. Without a linking word,
the clause or sentence becomes a separate and unrelated clause or sentence.
