Hi Quoc

Your question (All 2 sentences are correct?) is incorrect.

Both of your sentences are correct (1 and 2).

All three of Tom's sentences are correct.

Oh, excuse me, Tom! :oops:
You're absolutely right! I completely overlooked that missing of! It's a good thing we've got your eagle eye keeping watch. :D

Quoc,

Tom is absolutely right. Your first sentence must include the word "of":
1.Because of the fact that the weather was cold, we stayed home.
