The conjunction because has nothing to do with verbs. It's purpose is to introduce a clause that justifies or explains an assertion.
"Because" can be used in many ways, but a simple form is...
[Complete sentence A] BECAUSE [complete sentence B]
Complete sentence A makes a claim or an assertion.
Complete sentence B justifies or explains complete sentence A.
A "complete sentence" is a sentence with both a subject and a predicate.
Here is an example a native speaker may use:
The Maximum Likelihood method is commonly used in statistics because it is easier to use than other methods.
Complete sentence A:
"The Maximum Likelihood method is commonly used in statistics."
Assertion:
The method is commonly used.
Complete sentence B:
"It is easier to use than other methods."
