| 1) sometime = at some time
3) What is the usage guideline for "Owing to / due to"? a) I was not able to join the party due to the flight delay from China. b) Owing to the fact that the flight was late from China, I was not able to join the party. c) Owing to the flight delay from China, I was not able to join the party. Thanks |

2. The use of "some time' is indeterminate, so it is directly compatible with a specific time frame. You could use it like this: I stayed there for some time, probably about an hour. 3. Owing to/due to/because of/ are pretty much interchangeable. |
