because of, owing to, due to, on account of, thanks to都有“由于，因为”的意思，都是介词短语，因此后面不可接从句。其中due to一般不置于句首。thanks to可以表达正面意思，“幸亏”，也可用于讽刺口吻中（近于讽刺口吻的“感谢”）。

【注意】（1）若主句和从句皆表示将来的情况，则even if 从句可用一般现在时代替将来时。

（2）even if 从句的内容不肯定；而even though 从句的内容则是事实。

He will not let out the secret even though he knows it.他虽然知道这个秘密，却不肯说出来。（他知道这个秘密）
