‘Because Of’ vs ‘Due To’ - What’s the Difference | English Grammar Lesson

’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.
