[Grammar] Provided/ Providing (that) ?

[wotcha]

1. Provided that / Supposed that / Granted that
2. Providing that / Supposing that / Granting that


Are the both 1 and 2 used exchangeably?


3. Do you say "Giving that ~' instead of 'Given that' ?


4. Are "Permitted that' and 'Assumed that' used instead of 'Permitting that' and 'Assuming that'?


I've been looking over grammar books and googling, finding all different explanations.


I trust usingenglish teachers. Please brighten me up. (!)

NOT A TEACHER,

Because you are a teacher, I have to say that I am reluctant to help you answering your questions, but I guess it does not hurt.

1. I have never heard of things such as "supposing that," and "granting that". For "providing that," I GUESS it can be used to start a sentence.

2. I don't know if "giving that" actually exists. Is it possible that you may be confused with people saying "given that", but it sounds like they said "giving that?"

I have no comment on your fourth question.

We do use "given" that way here. "It's a given" = It can be assumed.

Given that X = Now that we know or can assume that someting is true.

I'm a mere non-native English teacher who is still learning English every day.

Please don't hesitate to make me less stupid!
