Definition
Used to say that something is expected to happen at a particular time, must be finished or paid by a particular time, or is owed or deserved.
Usage & Nuances
Common patterns: 'be due tomorrow' (scheduled/deadline), 'payment is due' (must be paid), and 'due to' (because of), though 'due to' works differently grammatically and is often treated as a separate expression. In everyday English, 'The baby is due in June' is very common for pregnancy.
