The meaning of ので is the same as that of それで(Lesson 17-9-1), but unlike それで which is placed at the beginning of a sentence, ので is used within a sentence.
*For non-past affirmative na-adjectives and nouns, drop the だ ending of the plain form and put な before ので.

【～ので、それで】【～から、だから】
ので and それで are often followed by a fact or a phenomenon consequent to a
preceding event. They are rarely used with sentences which has the following endings: ×～でしょう (conjecture ; probably～) ×～ましょう (proposal, suggestion ; Lets'～) ×～なさい(imperative ; e.g., Do it.) ×～てください(request ; Please～) etc. On the other hand, から and だから are often used with the above sentence endings. |
