因果复句
Cause-and-effect sentences (因果复句)
Explanation
This is a compound sentence expressing a cause-and-effect relationship. There are two main forms: the form without connectives, simply placing the two clauses side by side, with the first clause as cause and the second as result; and the form using the connectives '因为 (because)..., 所以 (so)...' to make the cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses clear.
