Causal adverbial subordinate or explanatory syndetic coordinate?

As you may have already noticed, there are many similarities between linguistic occurrences, that is, among the various subjects that we see in grammar and that here we have the opportunity to learn more than close. After all, at each meeting we have the opportunity to learn a little more about the language we speak, right?

Well, the fact is that this is a truth, however, we cannot make it a barrier, thinking that it is very difficult and that we will not be able to understand. In fact, a little more attention, coupled with a few explanations, will make you realize that it's all pretty simple. For this reason, dear user, we will from now on get to know you the differences that exist between causal adverbial subordinate clause and explanatory syndetic coordinated clause, given that both have characteristics in common, yes?


We need to know the differences between causal adverbial subordinate and explanatory syndetic coordinate

So, so that we can understand it precisely, let's look at some examples, starting with this first:

* Students got a bad result because they didn't study enough.

* We are loved by everyone because we never fight with anyone.

In the case of the first example, we have the occurrence of a fact (they didn't study enough) that causes an effect (the students got a bad result). In this way, we understand that, as it is a fact that provokes another, it occurs before that expressed in the main clause, remembering that it is represented by “the students got a bad result".

Analyzing the second example, we have another one (we never fight with anyone) that also has an effect (we are loved by everyone).

Thus, we have to observe two aspects, considered main: there is no comma separating the sentence subordinate of the main clause and the "facts" express certainty, not something that conditions hypotheses, possibilities. Under these conditions, we can say that it is aboutcausal adverbial subordinate clauses.

Let's continue:

Students are not studying hard enough because they have had a bad result.

Here we have an explanation (why they have gotten a bad result) just to justify an assumption (students are not studying hard enough).

We continue to be loved by everyone, because we never fight with anyone.

In this case, the same situation occurs, because we have an explanation (because we never fight with anyone) also to justify something supposed (we are still loved).

There is no doubt that this is a explanatory syndetic coordinated prayer, since the meaning expressed in the two clauses refers to the supposition.

See how easy it is to make a difference?
