问题: provided supposing

______ you fell in love with your boss,what will you do?
a.provided b.supposing
选哪一个,为什么?怎样区别这两个词?谢谢

解答:

选B

provided(或providing)是连词,supposing(或suppose)也可作连词,英文意思都是if, 但是实际上两者含义不同。provided(或providing)用来表示条件,supposing(或suppose)用来表示假设。

supposing(或suppose)的含义是:What would/will hanppen if...?,所以常用在问句中。

用法上也有区别,provided(或providing)后面可加that,也可以不加,意思还是一样,supposing(或suppose)后面不加that.
