Here is a short story using prepositions of cause purpose and reason.

00:06.720 --> 00:12.540
Listen as I read so you can see how they are used in real life conversation.

00:12.540 --> 00:19.320
After I'm done make sure you understand all the grammar and read aloud yourself so that you can work

00:19.380 --> 00:25.370
on your own fluency and pronunciation.

00:25.460 --> 00:27.890
Why can't you go out with us tonight.

00:27.890 --> 00:29.880
That's all because of my parents.

00:29.960 --> 00:34.020
They're quite strict and don't want me going out late at night.

00:34.140 --> 00:36.400
You aren't going to be alone.

00:36.470 --> 00:37.950
I know I know.

00:38.120 --> 00:44.590
The thing that all people go to clubs only to get drunk but I've never done anything inappropriate.

00:44.650 --> 00:48.260
There is no reason for them being so negative about it.

00:49.170 --> 00:53.350
You're still living with your parents so you can't really do anything about it.

00:53.430 --> 00:54.980
We'll go out some other time then.

00:54.990 --> 00:55.320
OK.
