because和because of的區別

because是連詞，其後接原因狀語從句或回答以why開頭的問句；because of是複合介詞，其後接名詞、代詞或動名詞或以what引導的名詞性從句。

區別：

1、詞性不同

because 是連詞，其後接句子；because of 是複合介詞，其後接名詞、代詞、動名詞、what 從句等。如：

I didn’t buy it because it was too expensive. 我沒有買是因為它太貴了。

He is here because of you (that). 他為你(那事)而來這裡。

2、搭配不同

because 所引導的從句除用作原因狀語外，還可用作表語。而複合介詞 because of 所引導的介詞短語通常用作狀語而不用作表語。

It is because he loves you. 那是因為他愛你。

His absence was due to the rain.

舉例來說：

It is just because of money.

那只是因為錢的原因。

That was because of his sickness.

那是因為他生病的原因。
