Hi! Both of the assignments are due at the end of the week. This means that both of the assignments will need to be turned in at the end of the week. Another way of saying this is Both assignments will need to be finished by the end of the week. "Due" is commonly used when a woman is pregnant- "When is she due?" (when will she have her baby?) "She is due in June." (she will have her baby in June) Hope this helps :-) Danielle

The word "due" has two meanings, the most common one, is when you refer to a deadline, "the fruit is past its due date" as if to say, "you shouldn't eat the fruit". However it can also mean the right way of doing things like in the phrase "due process of law" that means getting processed properly and according to the law, without having any of your rights violated.
