Reasons
parce que or car = because. Use c'est + adjective:
intéressant (interesting), facile (easy), difficile (hard), ennuyeux (boring), utile (useful), génial (great), nul (rubbish).
After c'est, the adjective stays masculine singular: Les sciences, c'est intéressant.
Le prof est sympa. = The teacher is nice.

Translate: I love history because it is interesting.
- I love: j'adore.

Answer: J'adore l'histoire parce que c'est intéressant.
J'adore / j'aime / je n'aime pas / je déteste + le, la, l', les + subject. Give a reason with parce que or car + c'est + adjective (masculine singular).
