Provided vs Providing
Both of these words are subordinating conjunctions and hence interchangeable when used to convey the same meanings.
Provided: It is usually used to express condition replacing the clause “as long as” to show that one thing can be possible only if the other condition is taken care of. It also means ‘to give’.
For example:
1. The basketball match shall begin in one hour provided that it does not rain today.
2. Provided the homework is finished before dinner, you are allowed to go partying with your friends tonight.
3. Stella was ready with her presentation despite being provided lesser time than required.
4. Now that the company is provided with the raw materials, there is no reason why the work should not start instantly.
Providing: Though ‘providing’ is usually used to show that something is given to someone, yet it is absolutely correct if you use it to express conditions.
For example:
1. Simply providing the plants with water and fertilizer is not enough if it doesn’t get proper sunlight.
2. The school shall be providing the necessary equipments for the laboratory practical classes for seniors.
3. It was very clear that the aloofness grew stronger between them and she will attend the function providing that he is not invited.
4. The basketball match shall begin in one hour providing that it does not rain today.

Collins English Dictionary — Complete & Unabridged 2012 Digital Edition
© William Collins Sons & Co. Ltd. 1979, 1986 © HarperCollins
Publishers 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012
The verb “provide” works really well as a standalone word. However, some people get confused when including the preposition “with” after it and whether the meaning is directly impacted. Let’s have a look at the differences.
What Is The Difference Between “Provide” And “Provide With”?
Provide should be used when the object of the sentence is the material that is given. You can “provide something.” Provide with should be used when the object of the sentence is the recipient of the thing being given. You can “provide somebody with something”.
If you refer to The Cambridge Dictionary, you can see that “provide” means “to give someone something that they need,” which provides us with a fundamental definition that we’ll continue working with throughout the article.
Is It Correct To Say “Provide Me With”?
It is correct to say “provide me with” because we always need to include the recipient as the object of the sentence when using “provide with.” That means “provide somebody with,” where “somebody” is the object (in this case, “somebody” becomes “me”).
Without using the “somebody” as an object, we can’t use provide with in a sentence correctly. Let’s look at a quick example.
- You provide me with what I need.
- You provide with what I need.
The first sentence works perfectly and is the grammatically correct way to write it. However, the second sentence makes no sense and should not be written in this way. We’re not showing the reader who is being provided with the thing.
Instead, the reader is left in the dark about the object of the sentence. They’ll be rereading that sentence, trying to figure out what it is you’re trying to say, but they won’t be able to figure it out.
Incidentally, if we removed “with” from the sentence, it would go back to being grammatically correct.
- You provide what I need.
Here, we have a complete sentence. Without using “with,” the object of the sentence turns into the material given. That means “what I need” is the new object of the sentence, making it perfect in a grammatical sense.
Of course, for that to make more sense, it’s usually clarified what “what I need” means. For example, if it’s a passage of text, we’ll often include what is “needed” in the next sentence.
However, if it’s in speaking, the context is usually given by the two people talking. In this case, if a son said that to his father, the implication is what they “need” is good parenting and things like that.
How Do You Use “Provide” In A Sentence? (Examples)
Now let’s look at some examples of the two phrases in action. We’ll start with the slightly more simple variation where no preposition is required.
Remember, we use “provide” when the object of the sentence is the thing that is given to somebody. We don’t need to use any pronouns to tell who or what is being given.
- That’s my father. He provided all the things for this party.
- This school provides everything necessary to succeed in life.
- He provides all the fundamental parts for you.
- They provided the food, and I only had to eat it.
- I’m going to provide what’s needed on this list for the party.
- I’m providing entertainment to anyone who needs it! I’m a clown!
We included a few variations, using different pronouns to introduce the verb as well as different tenses to see how that effects it. You’ll be pleased to know that “provide” is a regular verb, meaning it has no annoying language rules that might change it from the base form depending on its use.
Whether we use “provide,” “provided,” or “providing,” we’re using the word in the same sense. We never need a preposition like “with” to follow it in any of these cases because the object of the sentence is already clarified.
The object depends on the context, which can make it confusing for some people. However, if you pay close attention to each sentence, you’ll see what they are. For example, in the first one, “all the things” is the object, and we work our way down from there.
Read through the examples we’ve provided above and see if you can pick out all the objects of the sentence that allow us to not use “with” when we’re writing.
How Do You Use “Provide With” In A Sentence? (Examples)
Now let’s see when we would use “provide with” instead. We include “with” when we’re using pronouns. These pronouns are used to refer to a recipient of a gift or the thing that is “provided.”
“Provide with” is used when we use the recipient as the object. That means we need a pronoun like “me” or “you” in-between the two words for it to make sense.
- He provides me with all the things I ask for.
- I provide you with everything, and I can easily take that away.
- You provide her with the things she wants in a man.
- We provide them with the money, and they deliver the fun!
- I’m providing you with the things you need to make it in life.
- You provided me with the tools to help make my dream a reality.
Again, we used as many variations as we could to really give you a clear idea of how we might use “provide with” in a sentence.
There should always be a pronoun between the two words; otherwise, you’ve made an error. If you read a sentence and see “provide with” next to each other, it means you’ve gone wrong somewhere and omitted a vital part!

Hi,
“We’ll stop now, provided/providing you haven’t any further questions.”
My questions:
- Can I use either “provided” or “providing”? Are they correct?
- Is “provided/providing” the same as “if”
- “further” is used right? Can I use “more” instead?
Thank you.

Use «provided» instead of «providing,» and in this case, yes, «provided» is the same as saying «if.» «More» will also be appropriate in this case, both «more» and «further» are fine. However, instead of «haven’t» you should probably say «don’t.» I believe «haven’t» may still work, but «don’t» is a better word. Sorry I can’t offer justification for my answer, so you might want to wait for someone who can explain this better.

—Both words «provided» and «providing» are both correct forms of english, but with that sentence, it makes more sense to use «provided».
—In most cases, both words can mean the same as «if», but mostly in that kind of situation. The verb «to provide» means the same as the verb «to supply», so you can see why it wouldn’t make much sense (or any sense, depending on the situation) to native English speakers if you substitute «provide» with «if».
—Substituting «further» with «more» is okay in some situations as well, but not in terms of sight. For example, if you see something that is closer to you than another thing, you’d say that the other thing is «further» than the thing closest to you. Did that make sense? I hope it did . But of course, you much consider the phrase «Further more,» to better explain a situation.
Like any other language out there, certain words are used for certain situations.
So, again, I believe that «provided» is the proper word. I hope I was able to help you there .
… Woah, I’m a newb .

Hi,
“We’ll stop now, provided/providingyou haven’t any
further questions.”
My questions:
- Can I use either “provided” or “providing”? Are they correct?
- Is “provided/providing” the same as “if”
- “further” is used right? Can I use “more” instead?
Thank you.
1. We’ll stop now, unless you have some further/more questions for us?
2. We’ll stop now, provided/ing you don’t ask us any further/more questions.
3. We’ll stop now, if you don’t ask us anything further/more
‘further’ is used right — it is also more accurate than ‘more’, but sounds more formal than ‘more’.
I can’t think of an explanation for why we sayin english ‘you do not have’ rather than ‘you have not’, but ‘you have not’ is normally followed by ‘got’ (ie. you haven’t got… which if you tried it in your sentence, would complicate the sentence — ie. make it harder to comprehend — which isn’t a good idea in english)
Of all of the above
1. is the most politely phrased sentence (being a question)
2. would probably be used by someone who doesn’t know if they want to continue answerring questions
3. would be used by someone who doesn’t want to answer any more questions

Saying “don’t” is fine, but it should be followed by “have”. Another example:
“We’ll stop now, provided you don’t have any further questions.”
Or if you want to take off the conjunction, you can use “do not” instead of “don’t”, though it might sound a bit weird to us USA English speakers.
Hmm… trying to think of any other examples (one minute later..)
Oh! I got another one! You don’t have to use «provided», there are two other ays to write that sentence:
“We’ll stop now, if you haven’t/don’t have any further questions.”
“We’ll stop now, as long as you haven’t any further questions.”
“We’ll stop now, provided you no longer have any further questions.”
Or, for simpler words but a longer sentence:
“We’ll stop now, as long as you no longer have anymore questions to ask.”
Wow, as I think about it, there are many ways to re-write that sentence. Oops, I think went a little off-topic there. Sorry about that .
I wrote a lot… but it’s good information .

You’re very welcome!
Oh and some other advice: You shouldn’t say «Thank you all of you a lot.» because it doesn’t make sense. You should say «I thank all of you.» For your other sentence, «Thanks all of you many times.» it didn’t make sense at all. You should instead say «Thank you very much.»
You see, in English, it doesn’t make much of a difference if you say that you thank them many times. As long as you thank them, once is enough for us. Plus, it doesn’t make any sense.
Saying «Thanks» to a person or a bunch of people is just a short form of saying «Thank you», but only if you just say «Thanks» to them.
You can also say «Thanks a lot!», but it doesn’t work for «Thank you», adding «a lot» to the sentence makes it sound very weird and strange to a native English speaker.
Hmm (trying to help you out some more)…
In giving thanks to a person or group of people, you should stick with «Thank you», «Thank you very much», «Thanks!», and «Thanks a lot!»
Replacing the «a lot» on «Thanks a lot!» with «very much» really throws the whole sentence off because it would sound strange to an English speaker and wouldn’t make sense. It would be «Thanks very much!», which isn’t really proper English.
I really hope I didn’t make you feel bad by correcting you like that. I just wanted to make sure that you knew as much as you could in learning the English language, you know?
Oh, and Happy belated Thanksgiving! … Though, you live in Vietnam, so I don’t think you’d know much about that .
… I just love these smilies!! They’re so adorable!
Oh no! I went off-topic again!

Hi, boriicua mamii.
Thank you very much.
I didn’t feel bad at all by your correcting my mistakes. I’m learning English and I need corrections. If you don’t correct my mistakes, I will make them all the time and it will be bad for me.
Thanks a lot.
