This document discusses cause and result language structures in English. It explains that causes can be expressed using "because", "as", or "since" followed by a clause. Causes can also be expressed using "because of" followed by a noun. Results can be expressed using connectors like "so", "as a result", "consequently", "for this/that reason", or "therefore". Examples are provided to illustrate the use of these cause and result expressions.
