Explanation:

• The nouns are modified using this phrase. To put it another way, due to is a way to give a noun its cause.
• It should only come after verbs because it modifies verbs. Due to modifies nouns and serves as an adjective.
• It follows a noun. Although the phrase due to might appear after a noun, there normally is a verb in between the noun and the phrase due to.
• You've probably used the word "due to" appropriately if you could replace it in your phrase with "attributable to," "caused by," or "resulting from." It modifies nouns and is typically followed by some form of the verb "to be."
