due to 的用法

在看manhattan prep的时候发现自己对due to 的用法不是很清楚, 于是找了些东西看看，虽然明白了一些但还是无法指出下面这句错在哪里？

we have succeeded due to the fact that we work hard.

要用because 来代替due to the fact that

This is what Manhattan GMAT's online Sentence Correction had to say about "due to" vs "because of"

"Due to" functions as an adjectival phrase and is used to modify a noun (e.g., His failure was due to his laziness). "Because of" functions as an adverbial phrase and is used to modify a verb or verb phrase (e.g., He failed because of his laziness).

"Due to" is a phrase that must describe a noun. "The fire was due to drought" is correct, but "There was a fire due to drought" is not. When describing a verb phrase, "because of" is preferable: "There was a fire because of drought."

但是because of只能接短语，所以，这里用because最好：

We have succeeded because we work hard.

楼主只用记住一点。
GMAC里划线部分 due to = caused by

不是caused by这个意思全错
