because
be·cause B0144900 (bĭ-kôz′, -kŭz′)conj. For the reason that; since.
[Middle English, short for bi cause of; see because of.]Usage Note: A traditional rule holds that the construction the reason is because is redundant, and should be avoided in favor of the reason is that. The usage is well established, however, and can be justified by analogy to constructions such as His purpose in calling her was so that she would be forewarned of the change in schedule or The last time I saw her was when she was leaving for college. All three constructions are somewhat less than graceful, however. · A favorite rule of schoolteachers (but curiously absent from the tradition of usage commentary) is that a sentence must not begin with because. Sometimes, however, because is perfectly appropriate as the opening word of a sentence. In fact, sentences beginning with because are quite common in written English, as in this example from Frank Conroy: "Because he was a prodigy, he was somewhat isolated within his own generation." · Another rule states that one should not use a clause beginning with because as the subject of a sentence, as in Just because he thinks it a good idea doesn't mean it's a good idea. This construction is perfectly acceptable, but it carries a colloquial flavor and may best be reserved for informal situations. See Usage Note at as1.because (bɪˈkɒz; -ˈkəz) conj1. (subordinating) on account of the fact that; on account of being; since: because it's so cold we'll go home. 2. because of (preposition) on account of: I lost my job because of her.

When you use because at the beginning of a sentence, don't put a phrase such as 'that is why' at the beginning of the second clause.
