GRAMMAR CHECK
Linkers: so and because
We use 
so
to link two sentences when the second sentence explains a result. We put
a comma
before the 
so
clause.
We wanted to visit Oman
,
 
so 
we took a ship there.
(result of first part of sentence)
We use 
because
to link two sentences when the second sentence explains a reason.
We got off the ship 
because 
we didn’t like the sailors.
(reason for first part of sentence)
Because
can go at the beginning of the sentence, too. We put 
a comma
after the 
because clause when it comes first in the sentence.
Because 
we didn’t like the sailors
,
 we got off the ship. 
(reason for second part of sentence)
