You can also talk about the reason why something happens or is done.

However, if you are actually stating the reason, you do not use 'why'. Instead you use a 'that'-clause.

Note that the second clause in these sentences is also a 'that'-clause. Instead of a 'that'-clause, some speakers use a clause beginning with because.
