用法拓展because of，owing to，due to，on account of 和thanks to 的用法比较这一组词都表示“由于”，在使用时应该注意以下区别：1）because of意为“由于，因为”，强调因果关系，在句中仅作状语，修饰句中的一部分，与其他成分不用逗号隔开。
2）owing to与because of一样，也强调因果关系，除作状语外，也可作表语。
作状语时修饰整个句子，可在句首或句末，用逗号隔开。
3）due to引出造成后果的原因，在句中作表语、状语和定语。
作表语和状语时与owing to同义，作状语时，一般不与其他成分隔开。
还有“due to” 的意思是“caused by”，如果在句子中due to 可以被caused by 代替，那么这个句子就是正确的，反之则是错误的。
它和because of，caused by 的用法区别可看如下几个例子：4）on account of与because of，owing to同义，但语气较为正式。
可作状语、表语，不作定语。
5）thanks to表示“幸亏，多亏”，多用于表达正面意思，相当于感谢，在句中作状语和表语。
