Look at the phrases in bold in the article. Notice the patterns connected to each verb. Now complete the sentences below with the verbs in bold.

Answer

  1. lead (one thing can lead to another)
  2. means (one thing happening means another thing happens)
  3. cause (one thing causes people to do or be another thing)
  4. make (you make people do things)
  5. caused (a problem is caused by something)
