since, as, becuase
As, because and since are conjunctions. As, because and since all introduce subordinate clauses. They connect the result of something with its reason.
We often use as and since clauses at the beginning of the sentence. We use a comma after the as- or since- clause:
- Since everything can be done from home with computers and telephones, there’s no need to dress up for work any more.
- As everyone already knows each other, there’s no need for introductions. We’ll get straight into the business of the meeting.
We use because, not as or since, in questions where the speaker proposes a reason:
- Are you feeling unwell because you ate too much?
- Not: Are you feeling unwell since you ate too much? or … as you ate too much?
