Structure

Explanation

Attached to a clause, it gives the reason the speaker believes the following clause holds.

Usage

It is fairly direct and often explains the reason for a judgment, request, or action.

Example

今日は寒いから、コートを着ます。

It is cold today, so I will wear a coat.

Common Mistake

Do not confuse it with から after a noun marking a starting point; here it usually follows a full clause.

Memory Tip

The first clause gives the reason; the second gives the result.
