Hello,
(didn't really know how to search for this because due, to, because and of are too common for the search function
)
So, I wonder when to use due to and because of. After doing some research with google my idea about this is:
due to + noun
because of + other
So, it would be
- Due to jet lag, I ...
- Because of falling down the stairs, my leg hurt
But, I also saw constructions like
- Because of the fact
- Due to the reason
which would destroy my great theory![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So, is there a rule about when to use which of these two? Is it maybe also a matter of formal/informal/the audiance speaking to or other?
Thanks in advance
