Different between "cause and so"
Hello,
I'm enjoying this EnglishForward very much and I'm learning so many things from here. Here I'm going to ask the different between Cause and So.
For example : It's ranining so I'm staying at home
and
It's raining cause I'm staying at home.
Are these both sentences are correct? I hope you'll explain the different between these two.
Thank you.

The first one is right: it's raining, so I'm staying at home The second one sounds really awkward to me, but grammatically it might be correct - I don't know. I think a correct option would be: The fact [that] it's raining causes I'm staying at home or I'm staying at home because it's raining. Let's see what the teachers say

I think you mean "because", not "cause".
The situation which is the cause of an action is introduced by the word "because".
I'm staying at home. The cause for this is that it is raining.
I'm staying at home because it is raining.
The action taken as a result of some situation is introduced by the word "so" or "therefore".
It is raining.

Longxray,
When you want to use the informal variant for , you need to add an apostrophe at the beginning --->> 'cause.
The above sentence is possible but I'm quite sure it's not the meaning intended by Longxray.
A: The gods hate me. I get a day off and what does it do, it rains!
