Summarize of Cause and Effect

Hume begins by distinguishing between impressions and ideas. Impressions are sensory impressions, emotions, and other vivid mental phenomena, while ideas are thoughts or beliefs or memories related to these impressions. We build up all our ideas from simple impressions by means of three laws of association: resemblance, contiguity, and cause and effect.

Cause and Effect Linking Words

Before you go on to work on the grammar and writing exercises in this unit, read through this brief review of linking words and phrases for cause and effect.There are three main types of linking words: conjunctions, transitions, and prepositions:

---

Conjunctions

The most important conjunctions are because, as, since, and so. Because, as, and since introduce a cause; so introduces an effect. These are used to join two complete sentences (or independent clauses) together. They are often used like this:

First sentence conjunction second sentence.

 I stayed at home because it was raining.
It was raining, so I stayed at home. (use a comma before so)

You can also reverse the order of the sentences with because, as, and since:

 Because it was raining, I stayed at home.

Note that this is not possible with so.

---

Transitions

The most important transitions are therefore, consequently, and as a result. All of these introduce an effect. These are used to join two complete sentences (or independent clauses) together. They are often used like this:

	First sentence; transition, second sentence.
	First sentence. Transition, second sentence.

 It was raining; therefore, I stayed at home.
It was raining. Consequently, I stayed at home.

---

Prepositions

The most important prepositions are due to and because of. Both of these introduce a cause in the form of a noun phrase. They are often used like this:

	Sentence due to noun phrase.
	Because of noun phrase, sentence.

 I stayed at home due to the rain.
