I would like to know the grammatical rules of なので as well.

What does "nanode" mean? What are its grammatical rules?

  * Because _it_ is Japanese and English it is very useful / helpful to me.

  * It's really good for my studies because _it_ is (in) English and Japanese.

Like から, it can mean "so", "therefore", "since", "because", but ので is
technically supposed to be used for highlighting a cause-and-effect
relationship, while から is for subjectively presenting a cause or a reason.

Either way, ので feels more polite, so it is often the one used when you are
gently expressing a reason, asking for permission, when making an excuse, or
other similar situations.

The な is added when following **nouns** and **na adjectives** , and what it's
doing is essentially replacing a だ.

Here's an example of that:

> ここは駐車禁止 **な** ので車を止めてはいけません。
>
> ここは駐車禁止 **だ** から車を止めてはいけません。
