How do I remember the word order I use with 'weil'?

There are a couple of ways to say 'because' in German and 'weil' is just a more sophisticated way to say 'because'. 'Weil' is frequently used in German and is a nice way to show off your German grammar skills in an exam, but it is important to remember that the verb that comes after 'weil' always goes to the end of the sentence.We can remember this by the following phrase:WEIL IS SO VILE IT KICKS THE VERB TO THE ENDE.g: I like to play football because it is fun.Ich mag Fussball spielen, weil es Spass macht.
