que: I don't know any alternatives to parce que - because, and need to use some variation in my answer for gcse french, thanks!|||''Parce que'' is a subordinating conjunction and can begin a sentence. Parce que introduces a cause, explanation, or motive - it explains why something is done. (Parce qu'il n'a pas d'argent, il ne peut pas venir.) ''Car'' is a coordinating conjunction, should not begin a sentence, and is mainly found in formal and written French. Car supports a judgment or indicates a reason. (David ne va pas venir, car il est 脿 l'universit茅.)|||Previous answer very good. Also: 茅tant donn茅 que... du fait que... puisque... However, they are not necessarily interchangeable.|||Besides "car", you can use "茅tant donn茅 que.... "|||You can try puisque I may not sound the same when you use it but it does the same meaning,car would be a good alternative as well but puisque is a more effective and flashy world. Like: I can speak french because I am french Je parle francais parce que je suis francaise Puisque je suis francaise je parle francais As I am french I speak french.
