List of "difference between" certain words and grammatical forms and rules

difference between since & because, "because of" and "due to"[edit | edit source]

  • since & because = the same (synonymous)
    • both are subordinating conjunctions (i.e., they combine a dependent or subordinate with an independent clause)
  • because of is a preposition that modifies a verb (therefore creates an adverbial prepositional phrase)
  • due to is a preposition that modifies a noun (which creates a modifying (like an adjective) phrase
  • all of these words indicate causality (cause or effect)
    • since& because usually indicate cause
    • because of and due to indicate either cause or effect
    • = "for the reason"
    • since and because are synonyms
    • = subordinating conjunction
  • due to
    • = "caused by" or "ascribable to", or "owed to"
    • = adjective
    • due to describes something or someone that caused something
      • as in, "Due to Steve's forgetfulness, he missed the appointment"
        • "forgetfulness" is a noun, and it is modified by "due to"
  • due to is not synonymous with because of
