　　原因状语从句

　　连接词：because, since, as, for ，now that, in that, owing to, due to, thanks to, because of , as a result of;

　　I didn’t go, because I was afraid.

　　Since /As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.

　　now that ：既然;

　　in that :因为，通常只能放在句中，强调重要的，唯一的的原因;

　　Human beings are different from animals in that human can speak and think.

　　owing to, due to, thanks to, because of , as a result of等短语后面只能接词或短语，不能接从句;

　　让步状语从句
