What is the name of this sentence form?

Can anybody tell me what these 3 forms are called? (I assume these have proper grammar names of some kind.)

1) Just because / Even though something happened something else may not happen.

  • Even though his shoes are cheap doesn't mean he doesn't run fast.

2) If it weren't/wasn't for something, I never would have something.

  • If it wasn't for that medicine, I'd still be sick.

3) If I hadn't done something, then something else would never have happened.

  • If I hadn’t stayed up so late last night, then I wouldn’t have been late to school today.
