This would be a lot of work to explain. Each series of words, while they could be considered the same in meaning [up to a point], really don't mean the same. Some are very different, some less different. Sometimes it is a question of degree, sometimes it is a question of emphasis, and sometimes it is a question of not at all the same.

For example, "because of" strictly means "was caused by." It is very active and direct. The others in the series could be substituted for because of, but they don't really mean the same: owing or due to means a situation owes its existence to the existence of another thing, as a result of means more that a situation is something that develops out of another situation.

This particular series shows that people will vary their language without being overly particular as to the exact, specific meaning of the phrases they use.

learn means to acquire knowledge or skill. know means to have a grasp in the mind of something, to see something clearly for what it is. recognize means to grasp that something seen has been seen before. release means to let go of.

In English, nouns can be formed from adjectives and verbs, but not adverbs, even though it might at times appear that they do. This is a case of "changing form class." Red is a word that can be a noun or an adjective. Cut can be a noun, verb, or adjective [Cut the cake. I have a cut on my finger. Send her some cut flowers.]

Learning English is a lot harder than people who grow up speaking it realize. It must be very puzzling to people who grew up speaking some other language. But every language has its difficulties.

they are all differerent in terms of grammar and form. Some of them (because of, owing to) can have similar use.

I dont understand your last question.
