Compound Particle ので

Here we look at ので, which is similar to 'The Extended Predicate' (below). This compound particle generally has the meaning of "because", or "due to".

The Extended Predicate: のです

The extended predicate is actually very similar to ので, but functions differently. Sentences ending in the extended predicate - some form of のです - are generally explanatory in nature. "It's that..." is a decent translation.
