Used to introduce a reason or piece of evidence that supports a prediction or conclusion.
“Given the fact that the store is crowded, the line will probably get longer.”
“Given the fact that he's running late, he might miss his flight.”
This phrase works well in Task 4 when you want to justify your prediction with a clear cause, such as 'Given the fact that it's raining, the picnic will probably be cancelled.' It sounds more formal than 'because,' so use it occasionally to vary your sentence structures and demonstrate stronger grammar control to the examiner.
Synonyms: considering that, since, because
