. The set phrase is to take for granted. Granted = given; acknowledged as a supposition. The past participle indicating an established state is semantically required. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

I am sorry to interrupt here because of grammatical rules say difference , so far my knowledge- that is , if followed by preposition one word like 'verb' it must act as gerund and it is a 'prepositional phrase' !What happened here ? Like- for going , for living etc. why it would be 'granted' instead of 'granting' ? Explain please ?

Please, but in that case GRANTED is not verb. I think it is an adverb like SURELY and CERTAINLY. Am I correct? Thank you. |
