1、从词性上看
because 是连词,其后接句子;because of 是复合介词,其后接名词、代词、动名词、what 从句等。如:
I didn't buy it because it was too expensive. 我没有买是因为它太贵了。
He is here because of you (that). 他为你(那事)而来这里。
He lost his job because of his age. 由于年龄关系他失去了工作。
We said nothing about it, because of his wife's being there. 因为他妻子在那儿,我们对此只字未提。
He knew she was crying because of what he had said. 他知道她哭是因为他说的话。
注意:because of 之后可接 what 从句,但不能接 that 从句或没有引导词的句子。如:
他因病未来。
误:He didn't come because of he was ill.
单词:because of的近义词、反义词、形近词辨析
because/because of
He isn't coming because he is very busy.他来不了,因为他很忙。
Mathilde lived a hard life for ten years because of the lost necklace.玛蒂尔德因为那条丢失的项链,而过了十年艰苦的生活。
<辨析>because 与 because of 都是“因为”的意思,但它们的词性与用法不同。because 是从属连词,后接原因状语从句。because of 是复合介词,后接名词(代词)或动名词,也可接 what 引导的从句。如:Her face went red because of what he said.他所说的话使她的脸都红了。
