如果because of 之后不能用从句,那么如下的句子
在区别连词because of 短语介词because of 的用法时,常有人这样讲:because 之后跟从句,而be cause of 之后只能跟名词、动名词或代词.
其实不然.请看下例:
She got angry because of what her boyfriend had said .由于男友的话,她生气了.
He was praised because of what he had done .他由于自己所做的工作而得到表扬
由此可见,because of 之后照样可以跟从句.所不同的是:because作为从属连词,直接引导原因状语; 而短语介词because of 之后的介词的宾语和because of 一起构成介词结构,同样做原因状语.
其他有些介词也会出现同样情况,比如,我们常说except之后跟名词、动名词或代词做宾语,而except that之后才可以跟从句.其实,except之后直接跟从句的现象并不少见.如：
I know nothing about it except what he told me.除了他告诉我的内容,其余我一无所知.
We usually go to work by bus except when it rains .除了雨天,我们通常乘公共汽车上班.
有的介词之后不能直接跟从句做宾语,还须先加上一个名词做宾语,在加上一个和该名词有同位关系的同位语从句.如：
The boy lives an active life in spite of the fact that his parents have died .尽管男孩的父母双亡,但他还是过着活跃的生活.
She is determined to marry Charles in spite of the fact that her father objects to her choice .她不顾父亲的反对,决心要嫁给查尔斯.

Answer 1

because of和because的意思一样,只不过是because后接句子,而because of后面接名词或名词短语.
如:我们没有去野餐,因为坏天气.
We didnt't have a picnic,because of the bad weather.
或We didnt't have a picnic,because the weather was bad .
