(2)first adv.先,首先
例如:Homework comes first! 作业第一!

(2)because 引导的仅仅是从句,需要依附主句存在。

上句为错句,此句的原因状语从句独立成句了,应该把原因状从部分改为逗号。

另外,不能与so引导的结果状语从句连用。
Because my brother doesn’t enjoy music, so I don’t enjoy music, either.(×)

The elephant is from South Africa.= The elephant comes from South Africa.大象来自南非。
The monkey isn’t from South Africa.= The monkey doesn’t come from South Africa.猴子不是来自南非。
