Cause & Effect
• A cause is why something happens.
• An effect is what happens.
Look for clue words such as because, so, and cause. When there are no clue words, you must figure out if one thing causes another. A cause can have more than one effect.
Sometimes one effect can become the cause of another effect, which causes another, and so on. This is called a chain of events.
