常見錯誤

❌He was late. As a result of, he missed the meeting.
✅He was late. As a result, he missed the meeting.
💡'as a result of' must be followed by a noun phrase; 'as a result' stands alone as an adverbial connector.
❌As a result the storm, many trees fell down.
✅As a result of the storm, many trees fell down.
💡don't drop the 'of'; without it the phrase cannot introduce a cause.
