Detailed explanation-1: -Porque, as noted, is the subordinating conjunction “because.” Porqué with an accent marking the second syllable is a noun meaning “reason” or “motive.” Por que as two words, no accent markings, means “why” (e.g., ¿Por que estas triste? or Why are you sad?).
Detailed explanation-2: -Porque a mí me gusta los ordenadores (why did you study Infomation Technology? Because I like computers). Ella se casó a los 16 años porque lo amaba. She married at the age of 16 because she loved him.
Detailed explanation-3: -(Internet slang, text messaging) Abbreviation of porque (“because”).
Detailed explanation-4: -Porque = because; it is followed by a verb. The verb doesn’t have to come right after porque, but you will have the verb. Por causa de = because of; it is followed by a noun or a pronoun, and not by a verb. It always requires the preposition de or one of its contractions.
