Pengertian, Fungsi, Struktur, dan Contoh Kalimat Cause and Effect

Apa itu cause and effect?

     Dalam bahasa inggris kata cause memiliki arti sebab, sedangkan effect berarti akibat/efek. Jadi dapat kita tarik kesimpulan bahwa cause adalah mengapa sesuatu itu terjadi, dan effect adalah apa yang terjadi (setelah cause). Namun dalam penulisan, kata cause tidak selalu diawal kalimat, begitu pula dengan effect.  

Fungsi cause and effect

     Menjelaskan atau memberi informasi tentang terjadinya sesuatu.
