Restrictive clause, because

hi everyone, this'll probably be an easy one. i've been going over and over this in my head. these sentences are just wrecking my head! firstly, "i work because i need the money" seems like a straight forward sentence, no need for deconstructing it too much. how about if i add, "have to" "i have to work because i need the money" would it need a comma to have a similar meaning to the first sentence? "i have to work, because i need the money" or does the comma not make sense in this situation? very confused over this, any help greatly appreciated. thanks Emotion: smile

None of those variants needs a comma.

You do need to capitalize I however.
