Grammar: reason, result & purpose

adverb = bijwoord

These conjunctions & adverbs show a connection between cause & effect (reden en gevolg)  when used in a sentence: because, so, so as to

2. Prepositions

These prepositions/prepositional phrases can be used to introduce cause (reden):

because of, owing to, for

These verbs introduce cause (reden):
