About

ので is a polite way to express "because" and links together a reason and a result. In spoken language, the result clause is sometimes omitted.

Unlike から, "because" statements made with ので should be based on logic, or objective facts, rather than a guess, a personal assumption, or an opinion.

ので can follow です・ます, a casual verb, い/な-adjectives, or a noun. な-adjectives and nouns require な to attach to ので.
