‘Because’ is Used Differently – by Us
<p><em>Because</em> is a conjunction, and conjunctions are used to connect types of clauses.</p>
<p>Grammarians labelled ‘because’ as a subordinating conjunction – which it still is – even though we use it more as a coordinating conjunction, now.</p>
<p>We tend to avoid using the coordinating conjunction ‘<strong>for</strong>’ (the boy ate a banana <strong>for</strong> he was hungry), and instead, English speakers and writers use ‘because’. (The boy ate a banana <strong>because</strong> he was hungry.)</p>
