Because, Because of, Just et Simply because

Because:

Because introduces clauses of cause and reason. It is a subordinating conjunction.

This means that the clause it introduces is a subordinate clause, which needs a main clause to make it complete.

A comma is used when the subordinate clause comes before the main clause.

-Most people left early (main clause) because the hosts had an argument (subordinate clause).

-Because they were sick (subordinate clause), they went to bed early (main clause).

Note:

Why is not used instead of because when reasons are given.

-I'm going to the Town Hall next week because there will be an emergency meeting there.

Not.... to the Town Hall next week for/why there will be an emergency ......

Because of:

Because of is a two-word preposition meaning "as a result of".

-Because of the very strong winds, the regatta was cancelled.

-There were long queues at the bus stop because of the train strike.

Just because, simply because:

Because can be emphasized with just because and simply because.

-Just because you're a good runner, doesn't give you the right to look down on other runners.

-I don't want to join a gang simply because I think it is wrong.
