Frequently asked questions
Is 'due to the fact that' bad English?
It is grammatical, but almost every style guide treats it as padding, because 'because' says the same thing in one word. It is fine in speech and in formal reports, but tighten it in polished writing.
What is the difference between 'due to the fact that' and 'due to'?
'Due to' is followed by a noun phrase ('due to the rain'), while 'due to the fact that' is followed by a whole clause ('due to the fact that it rained'). The longer form exists only because 'due to' cannot introduce a clause on its own.
