•Do not omit “是” in “之所以...是因为...”; never invert clause order; in “正因为...才...” the main clause must use 才 instead of 所以.
⚠️ Common Mistakes:
•Omitting “是” before 因为: leaves the structure grammatically defective.
•Placing 之所以 in the second clause: 之所以 belongs strictly in the opening clause stating the outcome.
•Confusing 正因为...才... with 因为...所以...: 才 conveys hard-won accomplishment, distinct from descriptive 所以.
