[@Oversamma]

I can't believe I never knew. Due to my failure to ever look up their differences, I've been using them incorrectly the entire time. But it is because of this video that I will do so no longer. Much obliged!

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Oversama, technically you should be able to replace due to/because with caused by and it should work. However, many many native speakers interchange these phrases all the time, so it is a technical detail. Hope that this helps! 🙏

[@hadivazifehdan5596]

Well actually you used them wrong again dude, this is what you said: I've been using them incorrectly the entire time, due to my failure to ever look up their differences. So here, "have been using" is your verb and as a result you use because of, also remember she gave us some tips like replacing due to with caused by and if it makes sense, we keep it. In addition to that, if we have a to be verb at the very end of our dependent clause ( the one that contains because of and due to ), we use due to. Hop this helps dude, keep it up.

[@Oversamma]

@@hadivazifehdan5596 You are absolutely correct, and I appreciate your assistance. Yet to be honest, I've for the most given up on this rule and now use "because of" and "due to" interchangeably because that's what 99% of people appear to be doing.

Hi Ganira, well done for your great sentences. Yes replace due to with caused by and if it works you can use it. So these all work. 1.I like this channel because of the interesting information. 2.İnteresting video from this channel is due to THE intelligent teacher. 3.The scarcity is due to lack of the rain. 4.We CAME back because of the ( vagaries? ) of the weather. 5.The victory of the war was caused by our strong army.

Generally speaking, it clears all the doubts that linger in my mind. Your explanations are very clear and concise. Sorry, can I trouble you to make a video lesson about some phrase prepositions, such as " in regard to, with regard to, as regards, in this respect, and in that respect " ? They are usually used in formal writing. These will help me a lot. I look forward to seeing you in the nest video lesson. Respectfully, Fazil

Very good grammar lesson! Many thanks! Is it possible to use "Due to" at the beginning of a sentence? In my opinion it is not because "due to" modifies pronouns and nouns but I often hear sentences like this: "Due to the end of the lease, we had to move". Could you please give an example, if "due to" can use at the beginning of a sentence? It is really confusing because so many people have different opinions about that. Thank you very much!

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Yes it is. According to the Cambridge Dictionary they give this as an example of the use of due to: Due to injury, the team captain was forced to withdraw from the match. Hope this helps!

[@ingeniousstudy5640]

(1)They are blocked here due to/because of lockdown. What is right due to or because of , please answer me ma'am.

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi, They are blocked here because of the lockdown is the correct answer. Here we are modifying a verb, blocked so we use because of. Remember the tip of replacing the words with caused by, if it works it is due to. Here it does not work so it is because of. Hope that helps!

[@darianprotho6622]

Thank you for the explanation. Could you please give some examples of sentences starting with "due to". I have seen several sentences using due to but it is grammatically wrong according to your explanation. For example: Due to air pollution, the birds are dying. It seems like impossible to make a sentence starting with "due to", does it mean that "due to" can't lead a sentence?

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Darian, these are the example sentences from the Cambridge dictionary: A lot of her unhappiness is due to boredom. The bus was delayed due to heavy snow. Regrettably, the service has been dropped due to lack of funding. The series was cancelled due to poor ratings. Processing is inevitably slower due to increased security measures. I hope that helps.

I think the word owing to is correct, but due to is not. It seems it is describing the verb and not the noun. Could you help me figure this out?

Hi Gabriel, I agree with you I think it should be "because of" or "owing to" as it is modifying the verb. It just goes to show that it is often misused. Hope that helps!

5:10 I didn't catch why "because of" was used instead of "due to". Because the word "heavy" is adjective. And as you said we should put due to if it is related to adjective.

Adverbs can modify adjectives too. Remember the trick with replacing with caused by and you can see it only works for because here.

[@anjalipv9123]

Can you explain the difference between due to and on account of

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Certainly! "Due to" and "on account of" are both phrases used to express the reason or cause of something, but they are used in slightly different contexts and have different grammatical structures. 1. "Due to" Meaning: "Due to" means "caused by" or "because of." It is typically used to link a cause directly to a noun or noun phrase. It often follows a form of the verb "to be" (e.g., is, was, were). Usage: "Due to" is generally used as an adjective phrase that modifies a noun. Examples: "The game was canceled due to rain." (The cancellation is directly caused by the rain.) "His success is due to hard work." (His success is a result of his hard work.) 2. "On account of" Meaning: "On account of" is similar in meaning to "because of" or "due to," but it is more versatile and can be used in a broader range of contexts. Usage: "On account of" is a prepositional phrase and can modify verbs, entire clauses, or sentences. It is used to explain why something happened or to give a reason. Examples: "The flight was delayed on account of bad weather." (The delay happened because of the bad weather.) "She stayed home on account of feeling ill." (Her staying home was a result of her feeling ill.) Key Differences: Grammatical Role: "Due to" is typically used after a form of the verb "to be" and modifies nouns. "On account of" can modify verbs, clauses, or sentences and is more flexible. Formality: "Due to" is slightly more formal and is often used in formal writing or speech. "On account of" is less formal and can be used in everyday conversation. Interchangeability: In some cases, "due to" and "on account of" can be used interchangeably, but it’s important to ensure the sentence structure is appropriate for the phrase being used. For instance: Correct: "The meeting was postponed due to the CEO's absence." Correct: "The meeting was postponed on account of the CEO's absence." In this example, both phrases work, but "due to" feels more formal, while "on account of" is more conversational.
