- 1 Post By PROESL Does this sentence sound correct? Alejandro
played football because Maria went shopping Is the usage of
(because) correct here? I mean cause-effect relationship Is
there a difference between: 1- Alejandro played football because
Maria went shopping 2- Alejandro played football, for Maria went
shopping Thanks in advance Re: Does this sentence sound correct?
Yes, the usage of "because" is correct, though it may seem odd
to some people as an isolated sentence without context. It is
correct, however. Alejandro always plays football when Maria
goes out. So that's why he played football. All the guys at the
park were waiting for him. Originally Posted by xpert And, yes,

to play football when she leaves to go shopping. If Maria stays
home, then Alex stays home too. You know? That's just it goes
with them. How's this? Alex went home because he that Maria
tried to call him (cell-phone). A phone call from Maria can
cause Alex to go home.
