Considering that

You can put it at the start of a sentence. You can also drop it in the middle. Usually, it is followed by a full clause. That means you need a subject and a verb. For example: Considering that it is late, we should leave. Notice the comma after the first part! It acts as a little breath for the listener. If you put it in the middle, you don't always need that comma.

Use it when you want to sound thoughtful. It works great in professional emails. It is perfect for justifying a decision. Use it when you are surprised by something. If your friend runs a marathon without training, say: You did great, considering that you never run. It adds a layer of 'fairness' to your judgment. It shows you are looking at the whole picture.

Avoid it in super short, high-energy texts. If your house is on fire, don't say it! It is too wordy for emergencies. Do not use it for simple 'because' situations. If someone asks why you like pizza, don't say considering that it has cheese. That sounds like a robot trying to be human. Keep it for when there is a specific context to weigh.

English speakers love to qualify their statements. We rarely like to be 100% absolute. This phrase comes from a culture of 'weighing options.' It feels very 'Western' in its logical structure. It suggests that the speaker is being fair and balanced. It is the language of the courtroom and the boardroom. It has moved from law books into daily coffee chats.

You might hear people just say considering. They drop the that entirely. This is very common in spoken English. You might also hear given that. That one is slightly more formal. Another cousin is seeing as. That one feels a bit more British or casual. All of them do the same heavy lifting for your sentences.
