English has a lot of equivalent expressions that attract the attention of writing teachers and grammarians. Consider because/for, however/but, which/that, much/a lot, and others you can probably come up with yourself. Here's a link (http://arnoldzwicky.wordpress.com/2008/12/28/forbecause/) to an extraordinarily lucid and insightful posting on the topic by that extraordinarily lucid and insightful grammarian Arnold Zwicky. Follow the internal links, and you'll see a subtle, perceptive, and witty mind at work.
Enjoy!
