Because和because of的用法区别

because 和because of的区分

1. because 是连词,其后接句子，例如：

He is called Mitch, because his name is Mitchell.

人们叫他米奇，因为他大名叫米切尔。

2. because of 是复合介词,其后接名词、代词、动名词、what 从句等。例如：

We could see him wasting away because of his 

illness.

我们看得出他因为生病而日渐消瘦

Because+从句Because of+名词或名词短语作宾语

判断断语还是句子的标准：

单独取出because或because of的内容，如果有动词（也就是谓语）的是句子，如果没有则是断语。

例如：I didn't go to school because i am ill.  am是谓语（动词）

  I didn't go to school because of my illness.   my illness是短语（名词）

分析：

I love you not because of who you are but because of who i am when i am with you.

are和am是谓语，所以不能用because of,只能用because。
