Use “因为” at the start of a clause to explain the reason for what follows; the result clause follows with a comma, often without a conjunction.
"因为管理得法，发展很快，许多人都来投奔他。"
Pair “越是…，越…” to describe how an increase in one condition leads to an increase in another; the first clause gives the condition, the second describes the response.
"大丈夫立志，越是穷困，越要坚强。"
"越是年纪大，越要不服老。"
Place “但是” between clauses to contrast two ideas within the same sentence; often used when the second clause contradicts or limits the first.
"马援有几千头牛和羊，还有大批粮食，但是他不看重这些财物。"
Use “就在于” to pinpoint the essential point or purpose of the preceding action or noun; it’s often used to explain why something matters.
"积累资财，就在于用它来帮助别人。"
Use “否则” to introduce the negative consequence when the condition in the previous clause is not met; it often follows a comma after the first clause.
"积累资财，就在于用它来帮助别人，否则，只不过是一个守财奴罢了！"
