Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Avoid using the phrase "allows due to" in formal writing. Opt for grammatically correct alternatives such as "is allowed because of" or "permits as a result of".
Common error
The phrase "allows" implies permission or possibility, while "due to" indicates causation. Combining them directly creates a grammatically unsound construction. Instead, clarify the relationship: use "is allowed because of" to indicate permission based on a cause.
