- 'Because of' and 'Due to' are used interchangeably in spoken English. But should they be? The short answer is no. This is a common mistake.
For example:
- We canceled the trip because of the heavy rain. ✅
- We canceled the trip due to the heavy rain. ❌
In this English grammar lesson, you'll learn how to use because of vs. due to correctly.
And you'll understand the distinct differences between the two.
At the end of the lesson, I have a quick quiz for you to test your knowledge by choosing between because of vs due to.

Never thought of "due" as an adjective in the phrase "due to". Although it makes total sense. To my embarrassment, the only difference I thought there was between "due to" and "because of" was the level of formality. That's a very eye-opening video.
Hi Iryna. Thank you for watching. I'm glad the lesson helped to clarify how to use 'because of' and 'due to.'
Wow this is so helpful! I have been using them interchangeably all the times but didn’t realize there is such an important difference until now! Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
The clarity of this lesson was due to a wonderful explanation. I hope my example is correct. ✌️
Due to is the one of phrasal verb that I’ve never known verb to use ,especially I used “during “. Now I found the way to use it. Thanks a lot
Wonderful information...!!! I never knew this before.
This is a grammer pattern that no one dares to give a depth explanation on.But you did.
1. Your ability to give a brief explanation on the grammer patterns is mainly due to your deep knowledge of grammar.
2. You amizingly explained their difference because of the deep knowelegde you have on grammer aspect.
Thanks i really found it helpful.

Hello.
This video adds a touch of luxury to our life.
In Turkish we have an idiom which means "a common mistake is far better than a correct, rarely used vocabulary". As a champion of descriptive way of linguistics, I believe we'd sometimes better let people do as they wish.
Hi Anne! I admire you!! You have changed so much my productivity at work :D sending hugsss
I'm so glad!
Due to, because of, because of, due to, because of, due to.
Thanks for the video
Hey! Annemarie! Looking at your examples, I have the impression that we use "Because of" in the active voice and "due to" in the passive voice. I don't know if I'm crazy 😂... or it was just a coincidence or if there's foundation in what I'm saying. Could you clarify for me? Thank so much for wondeful class! ❤
Good observation and good question. 'Due to' is commonly used in the passive form and it follows the 'to be' verb. That said, you'll often hear it used just like 'because of.' Particularly in spoken communication. For example, it would not be uncommon to hear: Due to her hard work and dedication, Laura got promotion at work.
The presentation was successful due to her efforts.
Thanks a lot I was using the both interchangeably. Would you please advise me on useful grammar. book
Hi there. Grammar in Use is always a good series.
Due to is used as adjectival prepositional phrase. Because of is used as adverbial prepositional phrase.
I'm appreciated it
Thanks ma’am

Ma’am plz tell us what’s the difference between instead of , rather than , despite and inspire of
Thanks for the question! I've noted it down for a future lesson. 😊
Can we use due to or owing to + a gerund?
Thanks for the question. We would not include a gerund with 'owing to.' Here's an example of how we could use it:
She missed the meeting *because* of traffic.
*Owing to* the traffic, she missed the meeting.
Could you please help differentiate use of"
as and since "as reason and result connective
Thank you for the question. Could you add example sentences of each to clarify?
Hi Annemarie! I've just found a bunch of sentences with 'due to' and they don't seem to follow the rule, e.g., 1. The field trip was cancelled due to the snow storm. 2. Some students may not be able to graduate on time due to cancelled classes. 3. Due to the economic downturn, the housing market is starting to weaken. 4. Due to the high price of gas, the Jones family had no choice but to travel everywhere by bike. Are those sentences incorrect?
Thanks for the question. The rules shared in the video are accurate. However, these rules are often broken, especially in spoken communication.
1. due to .
2. becuase of
3. becuase of
4.due to
5. becuase of
6. due to
