Overview
Provided that और providing that ऐसे ही दो महत्वपूर्ण conjunctions हैं जो आपकी भाषा को एक पेशेवर और औपचारिक (formal) रूप देते हैं।if का एक अधिक शक्तिशाली और गंभीर विकल्प हैं। जहाँ if का प्रयोग हम किसी भी सामान्य शर्त के लिए कर सकते हैं, वहीं provided that का इस्तेमाल तब किया जाता है जब कोई शर्त 'non-negotiable' यानी अनिवार्य हो। यह एक ऐसी स्थिति को दर्शाता है जिसके बिना मुख्य कार्य हो ही नहीं सकता। हिंदी में इसके लिए हम अक्सर 'बशर्ते' या 'इस शर्त पर कि' जैसे शब्दों का प्रयोग करते हैं।We will sign the contract, provided that the terms are clear, तो इसका मतलब है कि वे अनुबंध पर हस्ताक्षर तभी करेंगे जब शर्तें स्पष्ट हों—यह केवल एक संभावना नहीं, बल्कि एक अनिवार्य शर्त (stipulation) है। एक B2 लेवल के लर्नर के तौर पर, इन शब्दों का सही चुनाव यह दर्शाता है कि आप न केवल व्याकरण जानते हैं, बल्कि आप संदर्भ (context) और रजिस्टर (formal vs informal) की बारीकियों को भी समझते हैं।provided that और providing that को subordinating conjunctions कहा जाता है। इनका काम एक मुख्य क्लॉज (main clause) को एक सहायक क्लॉज (subordinate clause) से जोड़ना होता है।provided that करता है।- 1Tense का खेल: हिंदी में हम भविष्य की शर्त के लिए दोनों तरफ भविष्य काल (future tense) का प्रयोग कर सकते हैं (जैसे: अगर तुम *आओगे*, तो मैं *जाऊँगा*)। लेकिन English में
provided thatके बाद आने वाला क्लॉज हमेशा Present Simple में होता है, भले ही बात भविष्य की हो रही हो। - 2'That' का प्रयोग: औपचारिक लेखन में
thatका प्रयोग करना बेहतर माना जाता है, लेकिन बोलचाल की भाषा में या थोड़े कम औपचारिक संदर्भों में आप सिर्फprovidedयाprovidingभी कह सकते हैं।
Provided that / Providing that |if का अधिक औपचारिक रूप। |- Pattern:
[Main Clause] + provided that + [Present Simple Clause] - Example:
The match will continue, provided that it stops raining.(मैच जारी रहेगा, बशर्ते बारिश रुक जाए।) - Example:
You can take the car, providing that you drive carefully.(तुम कार ले जा सकते हो, इस शर्त पर कि तुम ध्यान से चलाओ।)
- Pattern:
Provided that + [Present Simple Clause], + [Main Clause] - Example:
Provided that the payment is received by Friday, we will ship the order.(बशर्ते भुगतान शुक्रवार तक मिल जाए, हम ऑर्डर भेज देंगे।)
The bank will help you | provided that | you have a good credit score. (NOT: will have) |You may enter | providing that | you show your ID card. |The software works | provided | your PC has enough RAM. |The tenant may paint the walls, provided that they restore the original color before moving out.
Employees can work from home, providing that their weekly targets are met.
The experiment will yield accurate results, provided that the temperature remains constant.
I will support your decision, provided that you take full responsibility for the outcome.
मैं आऊँगा बशर्ते तुम भी आओगे।चूँकि हम दोनों तरफ 'गा/गी/गे' (future) का प्रयोग करते हैं, तो English में भी हम
provided that you will come कह देते हैं। यह गलत है।- Incorrect:
I will help you, provided that you will help me. - Correct:
I will help you, provided that you help me. - Why? English व्याकरण के अनुसार, conditional conjunctions के बाद आने वाला क्लॉज भविष्य की बात करने पर भी Present Simple में रहता है।
I will buy you tea, provided that you have a biscuit. यह सुनने में बहुत अजीब और 'अकड़ू' लगेगा।- Problem:
Provided thatबहुत ही औपचारिक है। दोस्तों के साथ सिर्फifका प्रयोग करें। - Better:
I'll buy you tea if you have a biscuit!
Provided thatएक विशिष्ट शर्त (specific prerequisite) पर ज़ोर देता है।As long asअवधि (duration) पर ज़ोर देता है।- Example:
You can stay here provided that you pay the rent.(किराया देना एक शर्त है)।You can stay here as long as you want.(जब तक चाहो—समय की बात)।
If it rains, we'll stay home. |You can enter, provided that you have a ticket. |I'll remember this as long as I live. |Unless you study, you won't pass. |Provided that यह संकेत देता है कि यदि शर्त पूरी नहीं हुई, तो 'डील' खत्म है। यह if से कहीं अधिक 'Binding' (बाध्यकारी) महसूस होता है।provided that और providing that में कोई अंतर है?provided that को अधिक पारंपरिक और औपचारिक माना जाता है, खासकर कानूनी लेखन में। providing that थोड़ा अधिक आधुनिक लगता है।that को हटा सकता हूँ?that को अक्सर हटा दिया जाता है (जैसे: provided you finish on time)। लेकिन अगर आप कोई बहुत ही औपचारिक ईमेल या रिपोर्ट लिख रहे हैं, तो that का प्रयोग करना अधिक पेशेवर लगता है।The event will take place outside, provided that it does not rain. (कार्यक्रम बाहर होगा, बशर्ते बारिश न हो।)Unless का मतलब होता है 'Except if' (यदि ऐसा नहीं हुआ तो)। जबकि provided that का मतलब है 'Only if' (केवल तभी जब)।I will go provided that it's sunny.(सिर्फ धूप होने पर जाऊँगा)I will go unless it rains.(बारिश होने की स्थिति को छोड़कर, बाकी हर हाल में जाऊँगा)
if की जगह provided that का उपयोग करके देखें। यह न केवल आपकी English को बेहतर दिखाएगा, बल्कि आपकी बात में एक वजन और स्पष्टता भी लाएगा। बस याद रखें—इसके बाद 'will' का प्रयोग न करें और इसे केवल गंभीर या औपचारिक स्थितियों के लिए बचाकर रखें। समझे? बस इतना ही!Sentence Structure with Provided That

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
There is virtually no difference in meaning. `Provided that` is slightly more common in formal writing, while `providing that` is often used in speech. You can use either one in almost any situation.
Yes! For example: `Provided that you finish your work, you can leave early.` Just remember to use a comma after the condition clause.
No, `that` is optional. In casual conversation, people usually say `provided you...` or `providing you...`. In formal writing, it's better to keep `that`.
Yes, but you need to change the tenses. `He would have come provided that he had been invited.` This follows the third conditional pattern.
In English, we don't use `will` in conditional clauses (the part after 'if', 'when', or 'provided that'). We use the present simple to talk about the future in these cases.
Yes, much more formal. `As long as` is great for friends; `provided that` is better for business, law, or serious agreements.
It's rare but possible. `Will you help me provided that I pay you?` Usually, we use `if` for questions because it's simpler.
Yes. `I'll go provided that he doesn't come.` This means his absence is the condition for your presence.
