Hello,
May I get more idiomatic expressions to explain the operation of the reason in the following sentence?
{Fool that I was, I believed every word he said.}
"That clause" expresses a reason in the two ways
A. “that I was fool” provides a reason / explanation / excuse for (= as part of) "that I believed every word he said".
B. "That I believed every word he said" is for ( = in agreement with) "the reason of that I was fool".
They are no good I see.
I reckon on your help to deal with it well.
Or
A. "that clause" provides a reason / explanation / excuse for (= as part of) "the action".
B. "the action" is for (= in agreement with) the reason of "that clause"
Thank you for your help.
