At some point in time, we come across the question that tests your knowledge on due to v/s although.
Due to: Remember whenever you see due to in a sentence replace it with caused by and check whether it makes sense or not. It modifies the only Nouns. Because : It is always used to modify or present reason for action. In other words, it modifies the verb/action of a clause.
Note: You cannot use due to instead of because or vice-versa.

I am not an expert, but I hereby request you to kindly check and correct your explanation for "Because of"
1) "Because" is always followed by a "clause" (to be more specific a Dependent clause is formed) 2) "Because of" / "Owing to" must be followed by a "Noun" or "Noun Phrase".

Hi Sirihbs,
I am not an expert, but I hereby request you to kindly check and correct your explanation for "Because of"
1) "Because" is always followed by a "clause" (to be more specific a Dependent clause is formed) 2) "Because of" / "Owing to" must be followed by a "Noun" or "Noun Phrase".
How about Although. You Did not mention anything about it. Headline has a mention of Although. Is it by mistake or what

Hi Aadi01,
Let me try to help.
Some uses of "Although" :
1) It is used to start a "dependent clause"(Mainly to show contrast) 2) It is mandatory that "although" must be followed by a clause, in case you find "although" followed by a phrase, adjective etc.. u may reject that choice.
(Note : "Although" cannot be replaced by "whereas" if the context of the sentence requires "comparison + contrast", but "although" could very well be replaced by "even though", "though" or other contrasting words)
A quick tip when with DUE TO is to replace it with CAUSED BY.
All the best!
