interpreting and comparing

because

• used to indicate the cause of an event or situation
• When the sentence begins with because you need a comma after the clause. When because is used in the middle of a sentence you do not use a comma.

interpreting and comparing

because of

• When the cause is a noun or noun phrase you use 'because of'
• After 'because of' you use a noun or gerund. You cannot use a subject+ verb after because of. If you write Because of the fact that you can add a subject + verb structure though.
