How to Write a Cause and Effect Essay

A cause and effect essay is an essay type where
you confront a concrete effect (result) with its
possible causes (reasons), and vice versa, you
may correlate a concrete event (which is a cause
of something) with its potential effects
(results).

Thus, as you can guess, there are two main ways
of writing a cause and effect essay 1. Defining
the potential effects of a particular event
(phenomenon, problem, etc.). 2. Defining the
possible causes of a particular event
(phenomenon, problem, etc.).
