〜ので／のに
痛いので gives the headache as the reason for going to bed early — ので states a cause politely and neutrally.
Tested at JLPT N4 — 10 practice questions below.
Practice 〜ので／のに →〜ので ('because ~') attaches to a plain form: 頭が痛いので今日は早く寝ます — 'Because my head hurts, I'll sleep early today.' The reason clause ends at ので, then 今日は→早く→寝ます build the main clause. 今日は at ★ splits the main clause and leaves ので dangling mid-sentence; 早く at ★ is an adverb trying to end the sentence; ので at ★ puts the reason-connector after 寝ます where nothing can follow it.
