注：請(qǐng)注意下列正誤句子：
正：He cannot go to school because of sickness. / He cannot go to school because he is sick. 他因病不能上學(xué)。
誤：He cannot go to school because of (that) he is sick.
2. 由because of 構(gòu)成的介詞短語(yǔ)一般只用作狀語(yǔ)，而不用作表語(yǔ)。作表語(yǔ)時(shí)可用due to。如：
誤：Tom’s absence was because of the rain.
正：Tom’s absence was due to the rain. 湯姆因下雨不能到場(chǎng)。
注：在閱讀中有時(shí)也可見(jiàn)到because of 短語(yǔ)用作表語(yǔ)，但值得注意的是，此時(shí)句子的主語(yǔ)通常中代詞而不是名詞。如：
It is because of hard work. 那是因?yàn)閯诶鄣脑颉?br />
That will be because of money. 那將是因?yàn)榻疱X的緣故。
