Owing to, preposition की तरह 'because of' के अर्थ में प्रयोग होता है, जैसे 'The train was late owing to fog'।
Usage: traditional grammar prefers owing to, not due to, at the beginning of a sentence, while due to is fine after the verb be, as in 'The delay was due to fog'.
Usage में पारंपरिक grammar वाक्य की शुरुआत में due to के बजाय owing to को सही मानती है, जबकि verb be के बाद due to ठीक है, जैसे 'The delay was due to fog'।
