Cause and Effect
A cause is the reason why something happens.
An effect is the result, or the thing that happens.
To identify cause­and­effect relationships, we ask "What
happened?" to find the effect, and "Why?" to find the

Signal words such as so, since, therefore, because,
cause, effect and as a result often indicate a cause­
and­effect relationship.
