Now that you state it that way, I have less problem with "because". It can also state the reason for shaking the bag. I still prefer "so that", but I understand your use of "because". :wink:

Thank you for understanding my use of 'because.' I also accept the way you explain "so that" here, it fits in better than "because".

There are so many constructions in English that overlap.

Not only in English, but in Mandarin.

No doubt. There is a Chinese bank in New York with its name in Chinese characters on the outside wall. A news channel interviewed about 6 Chinese speakers from New York's Chinatown. They received six different translations of the characters. :wink:

I'm glad I am able to understand Chinese effortlessly. <grin>

Those people may have lived in New York too long.
