Because - Because of; Though/ Although - Despite/ In spite of
I. Lý thuyết chuyển đổi Because - Because of & Though/ Although - Despite/ In spite of
Because - Because of: bởi vì
Though/ Although - Despite/ In spite of: mặc dù
- Theo sau Because, Though, Although là một mệnh đề (tức là theo sau 3 chữ này phải có "S" và "V").
- Theo sau Because of, Despite, In spite of không được là một mệnh đề, mà là một danh từ, cụm danh từ, danh động từ.
QUY TẮC CHUYỂN TỪ "BECAUSE" SANG "BECAUSE OF".
Nhìn phía sau Because (câu đề) Thấy có "there, to be" thì bỏ.
TH1: Nếu thấy 2 chủ ngữ giống nhau thì bỏ chủ ngữ gần Because, động từ thêm "ing". Ví dụ: Because Nam is tall, he can reach the book on the shelf.
=> Because of being tall, Nam can reach the book on the shelf.
TH2: Nếu thấy chỉ còn lại danh từ thì chỉ việc giữ lại danh từ mà dùng. Ví dụ: Because there was a storm, ... => Because of the storm, ...
- Sau khi bỏ "there", bỏ "to be" (was) chỉ còn lại danh từ => chỉ việc lấy mà dùng.
TH3: Nếu thấy có danh từ và tính từ thì đưa tính từ lên trước danh từ, còn lại bỏ hết. Ví dụ: Because the wind is strong, ... => Because of the strong wind, ...
- Sau khi bỏ "to be" (is) thấy có danh từ và tính từ nên ta chỉ việc đưa tính từ lên trước danh từ.
TH4: Nếu thấy chỉ có mình tính từ => đổi nó thành danh từ Ví dụ: Because it is windy, ... => Because of the wind, ...
TH5: Nếu thấy có sở hữu lẫn nhau => Dùng danh từ dạng sở hữu Ví dụ: Because I was sad, .... => Because of my sadness, ...
Ví dụ: Because he acted badly, ... => Because of his bad action, ... (trạng từ đổi thành tính từ)
- Trong 2 ví dụ trên ta thấy có sự sở hữu: I + said => my sadness; he + act => his action nên ta dùng sở hữu. Nếu có trạng từ các em nhớ chuyển nó thành tính từ.
Cách cuối cùng các bạn có thể dụm cụm "the fact that" đặt vào trước mệnh đề để biến mệnh đề đó thành một "danh từ" là có thể sử dụng cho bất kì trường hợp nào. Tuy nhiên cách này chỉ nên dùng khi các bạn bí quá, áp dụng các bước trên mà không làm được.
Ví dụ: Because he is tall, he can reach the book on the shelf. => Because of the fact that he is tall, ...
CÁCH CHUYỂN TỪ THOUGH/ ALTHOUGH SANG DESPITE/ IN SPITE OF:
- Các bạn làm tương tự các bước chuyển từ Because sang Because of: Ví dụ:
Although Nam is tall, he cannot reach the book on the shelf. => Despite/ In spite of being tall, Nam cannot reach the book on the shelf.
