因為有系統的英語教材，我們才能更加方便地學習英語。下面就由七考網小編為大家帶來因為英語表達與用法，供大家參閱！
一、because of意為“因為，由于”，普通用語，比其他短語更口語化;構成的短語在句子中通常作狀語，一般不作表語用;若引導表語，主語通常應為代詞。后面可接名詞、代詞、分詞或what引導的名詞性從句等。
Sampras is likely to miss the US Open because of his back injury.桑普拉斯因為背部有傷可能缺席美國公開賽。(置于句后作狀語)
Because of my bad leg ,I couldn’t walk so fast as the others.由于我的腿壞了，我不能像其他人走得那么快。(置于句首做狀語，但用逗號與其他部分分開)
Because of his wife’s being there, I said nothing about it.因為他妻子在場，我對此事只字未提。(接-ing分詞短語)
He realized that she was crying because of what he had said.他意識到她在哭是因為他說的那些話。(接what從句)
It is all because of what you said.那完全是因為你說的話。(接what從句)
二、due to“由于，因?造成”，按照傳統語法：due to主要引導表語，但是在現代英語中，due to也可用來引導狀語(此時不用于句首)，也可作定語。 His illness is due to bad food.他生病是由于吃了不好的食物。。
Accidents due to driving at high speed were very common that weekend.在那個周末因高速駕駛造成的交通事故很多。
Joe’s application to the University was not accepted due to his failing English.喬因英語不及格申報那所大學沒被錄取。
另：“Due to”means "cause by", It should only be used if it can be substituted with "caused by". It does not mean the same thing as "because of ",
Incorrect: The game was postponed due to rain.
Correct: The game was postponed because of rain.
Correct: The game"s postponement was due to rain.
以后再遇到due to只要把它換成我們熟悉的caused by就清楚多了。
注意：due to除可表示原因外，還有“應給于，應屬于”的意思。
Our grateful thanks are due to you.向你表示我們衷心的感謝
三、on account of當“因為”講，后面常接名詞。
It means: because of something else, especially a problem or difficulty
She was told to wear flat shoes, on account of her back problem.
四、owing to主要在句中作狀語，有時作表語;做狀語時，習慣上用逗號和句子其他部分分開。

Owing to his careless driving, we had a bad accident.由于他駕駛疏忽，我們發生了次大車禍。
(Cf: The accident was due to his careless driving.這次車禍是由于他的駕駛疏忽。)
五、thanks to“由于或因為某人(某事)”，通常用于好的方面，譯為“多虧”，引導的介詞短語可置于句首或句末。
The play succeeded thanks to fine acting by all the cast.由于全體演員的出色表演，那出戲才成功。
Thanks to your help, we were successful.多虧了你的幫助，我們得以成功。
六、as a result“因此，結果”，常用在有上下文(表原因)的情況下。as a result of?“由于?的結果”，可置于句首或句末。
He had some bad fish. As a result, he didn’t feel well this morning.他吃了些變質的魚,因此,今天早上感覺到不舒服。
