Q

What is the difference between parce que and car?

A

Both mean “because”

Parce que can be used at the start of a sentence, and is used as a subordinating conjunction i.e. whatever follows it is providing a reason for what proceeds it

Car is a coordinating conjunction and whatever follows it introduces something which justifies what proceeds it. I.e. it may not be an explicit fact/reason
