Dear students in class B, here is the use of the word "hence" that you wanted to know :
The adverb hence has a few meanings, including (1) for this reason, (2) from this source, (3) from now, (4) from that time, and (5) from this place.
Examples
In these examples, hence is synonymous with therefore:
It’s that India has an airline that is run by politicians and hence can be milked by various interest groups.
In these sentences, hence means from this source:
Neither of these policies are popular, hence the temptation to resort to printing money to pay its bills.
They get married next month, hence the new lot of stepchildren.
And here, hence means from now or from that time:
Should Britain end up out of the union, some years hence, historians may look back at two events of the present.
But five centuries hence, are the roles about to be reversed?
"Hence" is a synonym of "therefore", "consequently", "because of that", etc, and being a conjunctive adverb that connects a main clause and a subordinate one, it should appear within the subordinate:
I'm not feeling well; hence, I'm unable to work.
