Question

18．因為大雨，Tony上學(xué)遲到了．（ because of ）Because of the heavy rain，Tony was late for school．．

Answer 1

分析 Because of the heavy rain，Tony was late for school．

解答 答案：Because of the heavy rain，Tony was late for school．這里是說過去的事情用一般過去時，因為大雨，用because of后加上名詞the heavy rain，故Because of the heavy rain，做某事遲到了用be late for，后加名詞代詞或動名詞，這里加上school名詞，主語Tony三單，故was，故答案是Because of the heavy rain，Tony was late for school．

點評 because是連詞，其后接原因狀語從句或回答以why開頭的問句； 
而because of是復(fù)合介詞，其后接名詞、代詞或動名詞，或者what引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句．
如 
Because he is ill，he is absent today．
He is not at school  because of his illness．
