可以放句首，例如：

1.Due to the fact that they did not read English, the prisoners were unaware of what they were signing.这些囚犯由于看不懂英语，不知道自己在签什么。

2.The coast road is closed due to bad weather.由于天气恶劣，滨海公路暂时封闭。

3.Most of the problems were due to human error.多数问题都是人为错误造成的。

可以Duetoweatherissues,theflightwascanceled.倒装(=Theflightwascanceledduetoweatherissues.)
