I know the basic use of the grammar you use it to list 2 or more consecutive reasons.
What I am confused about is not the basic grammar of ~し itself but a variation of it that I am currently learning. My tutor (who is a native speaker of Japanese) says to add から(after the verb) at the end if you are listing the reasons to explain something.
However with examples I have looked at online and in my textbook I don't see から at the end of the sentences.
An example of what I mean with what I described above (in regards to using から in combination w/し) is....
日本語は漢字を習えるし、日本語で人と話せるからです。 (the question was 'why do you study Japanese' I responded with....because I can learn kanji, and speak with other people in Japanese')
however here is another sentence that also uses ~しbut から isn't used at the end....
日本語は面白いし、先生はいいし、私は日本語の授業が大好きです。 (I love my Japanese class because Japanese is interesting and our teacher is good)
How come you use から in combination with ~しwith some sentences, and other sentences you don't use it?
How do you know when to end a sentence with から when listing reasons in Japanese (when you are using it with ~し)and when you don't? I think my tutor said to you end a sentence with から when you are using a verb, but I am not sure.
I could really use help with this please!
