这个句子应改为Because John was ill, I took him to the doctor.
或John was ill, so I took him to the doctor.
because, since, as与for的区别:
l)because引导原因状语从句,表示直接而明确的原因或理由,它的语气最强,它引导的原因状语从句可放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后。
2)since和as引导的从句强调结果,不强调原因,它们引导的从句一般放在句首。since比as语气强,表示自然的因果关系,意为“既然”。as表示的原因语气最弱,常用于口语中,讲话人认为某种理由很明显或对方很熟悉,不需要突出。
3)for为并列连词,虽常译为“因为”,语气最弱。但它并不说明一种原因,通常只表示一种补充或附带的解释或说明,或表示一种推理。所以,for引导的句子不能放于句首。

昨晚一定下雨了,地面是湿的。
4)由于because引导的原因状语从句表示一种直接的原因或理由,所以能够回答why的提问。since, as, for都不能。
