Prepositions: "Since" and "Because"The preposition since is often incorrectly used in place of the preposition because in writing. For example: He gave me half of his sandwich since he could not eat it all. Since is a preposition of time that indicates the beginning point of an action. The action can be either continuous or one that has happened at one time or another within the period. She's been travelling to Florida every winter since 1985. Because is used to introduce the idea of cause or reason for an action. The correct formulation of the first sentence should read: He gave me half of his sandwich because he could not eat it all.
