لَإنُّه

Because and so

Joining a reason to a result with لإنه, بسبب and منشان هيك

At this level your sentences start getting longer, and what holds them together is a small handful of joining words. Start with the two that carry cause and effect.

"لَإنُّه" gives the reason, and a whole sentence follows it. "بِسَبَب" also gives the reason, but what follows it is a noun, never a sentence. "مِنشان هيك" works the other way round, and introduces the result.
