Chapter 7 part 1 : Cause and Effect

-




Cause and effect 

"Cause and effect" is a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the other. This is a combination of action and reaction. Something happens (a cause) that leads to an effect. 

The cause and effect text structure is generally used in expository and persuasive writing modes. To put it another way: when an author gives reasons why something happened, he or she is explaining what caused an effect (reasons are causes and the thing that happens is the effect).


Examples of Cause and Effect

When you're trying to understand what is cause and effect, it can be helpful to review some examples.

Cause: We received seven inches of rain in four hours. Effect: The underpass was flooded.

Cause: I never brush my teeth. Effect: I have 5 cavities.

Cause: I've smoked cigarettes daily for 20 years. Effect: I have lung cancer.

Cause: Many buffalo were killed. Effect: Buffalo almost became extinct.

Cause: The streets were snow-packed and icy. Effect: Cars needed more time to stop.

Cause: He broke his arm. Effect: The doctor put it in a cast.
