Giving a reason using から
Use から to give a reason, or say "because" by saying a sentence, and then giving an explanation after it using から at the end of the second sentence. Here's the sentence structure you can use to put it all together:
Situation. Explanation から。
Here are some examples:
いつもおんがくをききます。おんがくがすきですから。
I always listen to music. Because I like music.
しゅみはりようりです。たべものがだいすきですから。
