It is simple!
It depends on what tense you are using\referring to.
Provide: present tense
Ex - Please provide the book to everybody
Provided: past tense
Ex - He provided the book to all of us. (action that is over\completed)
Providing: Continuous tense
Ex - He is providing the book to every body. (action happening currently)
I have a feeling that the OP was referring to:
Provided you hand your homework in on time, you'll get top marks.
Providing you hand your homework in on time, you'll get top marks.
Am I right?
yes, you right emsr2d2. , so I can use both in the same way?:-?.
