It is common to say “due to” and “because”. “Owing to” is formal.

@itzmesara9 thanks! then is there subtle difference between due to and because?
- English (UK)
- English (US)
I think “due to” and “owing to” are generally more written or in a speech (as in 발표) whereas “because” is used all the time when speaking.
If you are writing a paper and want more ways to say “because” you use the others.
