grammar - Confusion in using "due to"
I usually meet "due to" usage in a document or conversation, but in different ways. I did some research and found out that "due to" is adjectival.
Thus, the correct sentence should be:
The cancellation was due to rain
Instead of:
It was cancelled due to rain
But when I looked it up in Longman Dictionary, I found:
She has been absent from work due to illness
Can anybody tell me why the above sentence is correct?
