Tóm tắt lý thuyết Because và Because of, Though và Although

Cách dùng Because và Because of

Because – bởi vì, là liên từ dùng để chỉ nguyên nhân của hành động.

Cấu trúc because:

Because + S + V + (O)

Because of là một từ kép, cùng chỉ nguyên nhân của hành động.

Cấu trúc because of:

Because of + danh từ/đại từ/danh động từ

Because và because of có thể chuyển đổi cho nhau mà câu vẫn giữ nguyên nghĩa của nó, cách chuyển đổi như sau:

Quy tắc chuyển đổi cấu trúc because sang because of:

• Theo sau Because bắt buộc là một mệnh đề.
• Theo sau Because of là danh từ, cụm danh từ hoặc danh động từ, không thể là mệnh đề.

E.g: Because Jane was ill, she couldn’t go to the meeting. (Bởi vì James bị ốm, cô ấy không thể đi họp).

→ Because of Jane’s illness, she couldn’t go to the meeting. (Bởi vì bệnh ốm của Jane, cô ấy không thể đi họp).

• Nếu chủ ngữ của 2 mệnh đề giống nhau, khi chuyển ta bỏ chủ ngữ gần because, động từ thì thêm “ing”.

E.g: Because our teacher was busy, she gave us a day off. (Bởi vì giáo viên bận nên cô cho chúng tôi nghỉ).

→ Because of being busy, the teacher gave us a day off. (Bởi vì bận nên giáo viên cho chúng tôi nghỉ).

• Mệnh đề because có chứa “there + be” thì khi chuyển ta bỏ đi.
• Sau khi bỏ “there + be” ta thấy có danh từ thì ta để lại danh từ.

E.g: Because there was a lighter, we can burn these plant residues. (Vì đã có bật lửa nên chúng ta có thể đốt những tàn dư thực vật này).

→ Because of the lighter, we can burn these plant residues. (Vì bật lửa nên chúng ta có thể đốt những tàn dư thực vật này).

• Sau khi bỏ “there + be” ta thấy có danh từ và tính từ, ta đảo tính từ lên trước danh từ.

E.g: Because there was a brave man, we got help. (Bởi vì có một người đàn ông can đảm, chúng tôi đã được giúp).

→ Because of the brave man, we got help. (Bởi vì người đàn ông can đảm, chúng tôi đã được giúp).

• Nếu có mỗi tính từ ta chuyển tính từ thành danh từ của nó.

E.g: Because it was windy, the plants were broken. (Bởi vì gió to nên cây bị gãy).

→ Because of the wind, the plants were broken. (Bởi vì gió to nên cây bị gãy).

• Có thể thêm cấu trúc “the fact that + mệnh đề” sau because of.

E.g: Because Tom climbed up the tree, he fell off. (Do Tom trèo lên cây nên bị ngã).

→ Because of the fact that Tom climbed up the tree, he fell off. (Do thực tế là Tom trèo lên cây nên bị ngã).

Cách dùng Though và Although

Though và although đều mang nghĩa là “mặc dù”, là liên từ dùng để chỉ sự tương phản của mệnh đề với mệnh đề khác trong câu. Cả 2 có thể đứng đầu hoặc giữa câu.

Cấu trúc:

Though/Although + mệnh đề 1, mệnh đề 2

Ngoài ra, đặc biệt “though” còn đứng cuối câu, được sử dụng rất phổ biến trong các ngữ cảnh thân mật như nói chuyện với bạn bè, gia đình.

E.g.: Steve and I are friends, we sometimes have an argument, though. (Steve và tôi là bạn, mặc dù thỉnh thoảng có cãi nhau).
