Đáp án: Jane didn’t sleep last night because she drank a lot of strong coffee./ Because Jane drank a lot of strong coffee, she didn’t sleep last night.
Giải thích: Ta sử dụng “because” kết nối hai câu để chỉ nguyên nhân-kết quả. Trong trường hợp này, “because” + mệnh để nguyên nhân, đó là “because Jane drank a lot of strong coffee” (bởi vì Jane uống nhiều cà phê đặc); mệnh đề kết quả là “she didn’t sleep last night.” (cô ấy đã không ngủ được vào đêm hôm trước.)
Lưu ý: Ta có thể đặt “because” ở đầu câu hoặc giữa câu. Nếu đặt ở đầu câu thì phải có dấu phẩy ngăn cách hai mệnh đề.
