Unless, As long as , Providing/provided that...etc.
Are 'Unless', 'As long as' , 'Providing/provided that' and 'In case' all used only with First 'if conditional'?
Must I use 'that' after 'Providing and provided' ?
(e.g) I will go to the school providing you want my assistance.
Thanks in advance.

'In case' does not introduce a conditional clause. The others can be used in zero conditionals.
For 'Providing and provided' I must I use 'that' after them or they can they be used without 'that'?
They can be used without 'that', though we tend to use 'that' in more formal writing.
Please separate words you are talking about from your main questions by using inverted commas, as above, or italic font.
Try to use normal question word order rather than just placing a question mark at the end of a statement.

I gave a response in my last post - in the quote section.

Ohhh! I'm so sorry I have been studying for 8 hours, so I didn't pay attention to it!
