When should you use since and when because?
When should you use since and when because as conjunction word when you are explaining a reason?Example:

I have not made my homework, since I have been ill.

I have not make my homework, because I have been ill.

What is better or correct, and why and could you help me with more examples.

Answer

A perfect sentence would be:

I have not completed my homework because I have been ill.

I personally would say that "made/make" in terms of homework do not sound correct within this sentence.
You could use both "since" or "because". Both can work but "because" has a better rhythm within the sentence as you are explaining the situation. Once again, it may be my preference, but I feel "since" just doesn't quite sit right in this sentence.
