If you like sweet things, it is delicious

Post by juyjhj »

I saw this sentence in a grammar exercise

-IF YOU...........................SWEET THINGS, IT.......................DELICIOUS (TO LIKE - TO BE)

I think this is the right way to fill in the blanks:

-IF YOU.............LIKE..............SWEET THINGS, IT.........IS..........DELICIOUS (TO LIKE - TO BE)

The issue is that then I am supposed to rephrase these sentence with one of the following expressions: as long as; provided that; on condition that; given that; but for; without; unless; suppose; supposing. Which expression is suitable in this case?

As long as / Provided that / On condition that you like sweet things, it is delicious. :ok:

All three expressions are possible but in reality "On condition that" is rather formal and unlikely to be used here. "As long as" is the least formal.
