The word "because" is spelled as b-e-c-a-u-s-e. Here are some tips to remember the spelling:
- Think of the phrase "be cause" to remember that it contains the word "cause" which means reason or motive.
- A mnemonic phrase people use is "Big Elephants Can Always Understand Small Elephants," where the first letters stand for B-E-C-A-U-S-E.
- The tricky part is the "au" in the middle and the silent "e" at the end.
So, the correct spelling is: because.
