1. Introduction

The cause-effect relationship is one of the most important logical relationships in our lives. Although not many people seem to think about this relationship, it definitely exists everywhere around us. Especially in technical fields, all phenomena appear to have a kind of cause and a follow-up effect, whether we talk about problems and bugs or about a technical principle of a machine. In this unit, you will come across some of the cause-effect expressions and this topic will be further developed in Unit 11a in the AEL6 course.
