Due to ??? because of ??


很多人都错用了Due to,把它当这因为because来使用。

Due to 用法,必需在名词之间不是在动词之间。

例如:
He was sick due to food poisoning.  (错)

His sickness was due to food poisoning.  (对)
He was late due to the traffic jam.   (错)

His lateness was due to the traffic jam.  (对)
Due to 是在跟着 verb to be的后面如   is, was, are, were

还有due to 也不可用于句子的开端。
例如:

Due to his absence, the work was delayed  (错)
Due to the heavy rain, the football match was cancelled. (错)

上面的句子,可用because of owing to 来修正。
Because of his absence, the work was delayed. 

Because of the heavy rain, the football match was cancelled.
同样的,上端的句子也可以用because of 来改正

He was sick because of food poisoning
He was late because of the traffic jam.
