Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Because"

A: I say because without any other words in the sentence. It's not necessary. When you say because it just means I did. Like if someone says why are you wearing that shirt I'll say because. like I'm saying I wanted to which takes too long to say so I'll just say because

A: Just for the sake of doing it.

Because I felt like it, no real reason.

"I painted the wall blue just because (I wanted to)."

A: You use it to give a reason that you don't think is a good reason. E.g. You can't quit school just because you failed your test.

A: For each sentence you should use "aren't running" instead of "don't run". It does not sound natural.

For example, the sentence "Because there's a strike the buses don't run" to me sounds unnatural. It should be "Because of a strike, the buses aren't running."

You could also add phrases such as "at the moment" or "right now" to make it sound more natural. So, the sentence would become: "Because of a strike, the buses aren't running at the moment." Or, you can say "Because of a strike the buses aren't running right now."

If you ask me if there is a difference between the sentences "Because of a strike, the buses aren't running." and "The buses aren't running, for there is a strike." Both sentences are correct, and both ultimately have the same meaning. It is just a matter of how you structure your sentence. I am not an English grammatical expert, but both sentences sound natural enough to me.

However, if you were to ask as to how I would respond if someone asked me why the buses aren't running I would just say something along the lines of: "There're no buses at the moment due to strike action."

Hopefully this helps.

A: @ani_kl I got it, thank you very much for your answer.

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: I do not quite understand what this is trying to say, but I will try.

First, I think there is supposed to be a comma between “money” and “retain”

I believe this sentence is trying to say: The plan is to get money. After you get the money, give the customer a break (as in a break from spending money). Then, the customer will stay longer. (since they will not use up all their money in one time)

So, you want to make money from customers. After you get some money, do not have them spend money so that they save their money for next time. (Because if you make them spend all their money in one go, then they will leave).

The sentence is correct. You can start sentences with “Because”, but make sure that what follows the phrase “Because the idea is to make money” is a complete thought.

“Because the idea is to make money.” Incorrect. Not a complete thought because the word “because” makes the phrase a fragment.

By adding “once you make money, retain (keep) the customer by giving them a break” after “because the idea is to make money” it makes the sentence correct.
It has a subject and verb making a complete thought.

Sorry if this is confusing. Hope I can help :)

A: Let me tell you why you are wrong. = Let me tell you the reason you're incorrect. Let me show you what your mistake was.

Let me tell you because you are wrong. = You were wrong, so I will tell you the right answer. I won't explain it, I'll just tell you what's correct.

A: Since you're posting on English UK, the standard British pronunciation is neither. The first one you gave sounds informal, the second one is American English. I'll give you an example
