That book is a bit advanced, but the content is correct.
Traditionally due to should be restricted to adjectival use; hence, it should usually be followed with a to be verb. In that sense due means attributable.
- due to modifies a noun (you will probably need a to be verb for it)
- because of modifies a verb (you have already a verb in the sentence for it)
Generally speaking, you will learn that it is better to write actively and avoid to be verbs.
Although the language is changing and due to is widely used instead of because of, owing to, and caused by, I think it's easier to just avoid due to.
- My success in the exam was due to my diligence.
- I passed the exam because of my diligence.
Both above sentences are correct, but you better practice using the second one. |
