She is happy. Because she has been elected monitor. O
上述句子是筆者常評閱會考作文卷時看到的錯誤句子 (Common Errors)。下列為一些表達「為何」的正確句式，請各同學細閱：
a)
She is happy because she has
been elected monitor of the class.
b)
As she has been elected
monitor, she is happy.
c)
Since she has been elected monitor,
she is happy.
d)
It is because she has been
elected monitor, she is happy.
e)
She is happy for having been
elected monitor.
f)
Owing to being elected monitor,
she is happy.
上述句式，均可表達「因為」的意思，大家應留意because是連接詞 (Conjunction) 而非副詞 (Adverb)，故只能像a) 句中作連起兩句之用而不能放在句子之開首；相反e)水及f) 句中的 ‘for’和 ‘Owing to’，後面 則不能連起子句或動詞，否則為錯誤，如：
i)
She is happy for she has been
elected monitor. O
ii) Owing to she has been elected monitor, she is happy. O
‘Owing to’ 及 ‘for’ 後面只能以名詞 (Noun)
及名詞片語 (Noun
Phase) 連接，句子表達才會合乎文法。各同學切記！
