Account

Hello,

Is 'on that account' the same as 'for that reason'? His grandma died and he became sad on that account. Can we also say 'on this account' here?

Kindly,

Yes, you could say that, but 'on that account' is a rather unemotional choice, so perhaps not so good for your example sentence.
