what is the difference between as and because?
The word 'because' is a conjunction. It is so because 'because' joins the reason presented in the first part of the sentence. Instances of the same would help you understand it better:
- I went early because I wasn't feeling well.
- He skipped his breakfast because he was running late.
- He was fired because he wasn't sincere at his workplace.
- They announced his name because his child went missing.
- We can't go there because it is very cold in December.
We can replace 'because' with 'as' few times. It depends on the usage.
