The preposition 因 is placed in the first part of a sentence and an action is placed in the second part of a sentence. 因 indicates a reason for the action.
Scheme
因
reason
action
result
The subject can be placed either before 因 in the first part of a sentence or before the predicate in the second part of a sentence.
In the first case, the pattern is the following:
Scheme
subject
因
reason

zuótiān tā yīn bìng qǐngjià
她因出门太晚迟到了

If the subject is placed in the second part of a sentence, we should put a comma before it.
