Grammar Tip:

We use because, not “as” or “since”, if the reason


is the most important part of the sentence.

Examples

Why am I leaving? I'm leaving because I'm fed
up. (NOT I'm leaving as/since I'm fed up.)


They're laughing because they think your hat's
funny. (NOT. They’re laughing “since” your hat is funny .

    I went there since I was tired. I use in this way when I want to stress "I went there" right?

    @Hoon no use because . If they asked why did you go there and you want to say your tired because that’s the most important of the sentence , use “because - “ I went there because I was tired .
