question

Match each cause to its effect.

Simon threw the ball at the window.

Dalton jumped into the pool.

Cause

Effect

There was a big splash.

It broke.

key idea

Two events can sometimes be linked by cause and effect.

A cause is why something happens. An effect is what happens because of the cause.

Cause

Effect

It rained.

The road is wet.

I fell in the mud.

My clothes are dirty.

You can check whether a cause and effect go together. Put them together with the word so:

It rained, so the road is wet.

You can also use the word because. With because, the effect goes first in the sentence.

The road is wet because it rained.

solution

These causes and effects go together. You can link them with the word so, and they will make sense.

Dalton jumped into the pool, so there was a big splash.

Simon threw the ball at the window, so it broke.

In each sentence, the cause goes before so, and the effect goes after.
