Cause and Effect Kls XI

This document discusses cause and effect and provides examples of how to identify and structure cause-and-effect relationships in sentences.

Examples of complete cause-and-effect sentences are given using these signal words. The document concludes by providing practice examples of identifying causes and effects in sentences and writing new cause-and-effect sentences based on given causes.
