Result
What happens or follows from this?
Znaczenie
A result is what happens or what we conclude because of another situation. It can be something that happened, an expected outcome, or a conclusion. Languages may use special linking words or sentence patterns, while some have no separate result marker and rely on context. Cause looks back to what explains a situation, while Result points to what follows from it.

English uses so to put a result after its cause in the same sentence. As a result and therefore often introduce a new sentence; therefore can also mark a conclusion. English links a degree to a result with so + adjective + that or such + noun phrase + that, where a noun phrase is a group of words built around a noun.
The bus was full, so we waited for the next one.
So introduces the result; the cause comes first.
The road was closed. As a result, the trip took an extra hour.
As a result connects the outcome in this sentence to the previous situation.
The bag was so heavy that I couldn't lift it.
So goes before the adjective heavy; before a noun phrase, use such, as in such a heavy bag.
Learners whose language uses the same degree pattern before adjectives and nouns may write so a heavy bag instead of such a heavy bag. Learners whose language uses one connector for reasons and consequences may reverse because and so.
