Cause and Effect

Cause and effect is a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the other. Understanding cause and effect helps us make sense of the world around us and how things happen.

Understanding Cause and Effect

When something happens, there is a cause, and as a result, there is an effect. The cause is the reason why something happens, while the effect is what happens as a result of the cause.

• Cause: It rained all day. Effect: The ground became wet and muddy.
• Cause: The boy didn't study for the test. Effect: He got a low grade.
• Cause: The baker forgot to set the timer. Effect: The bread got burnt.
