reason Expressions like the reason?, the reason why?, one reason ( why) ?, etc, are followed by that or because . Some more prescriptively minded people prefer that ; but because is at least as common: The reason why the victim bought a stolen car was because he thought the accused was authorized to sell it. The reason they do that is of course that they would like you to keep coming back. |
