Разбор по языкам
В родном языке
Result is often marked by поэтому, так что, or clause order.
Было холодно, поэтому мы ушли.
It was cold, therefore we left.
На изучаемом языке
В английском результат или следствие показывают so, therefore, as a result, which is why и похожие связки; они отвечают на вопрос «что из этого вышло?».
It was late, so we left.
so = следствие: было поздно, поэтому мы ушли.
Изучающие могут путать so с because, использовать therefore там, где в разговоре естественнее so, или смешивать so и such в конструкциях результата.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
