That being the case

That being the case

"this" instead of "that" when referring to something already mentioned; rare alternative "That being so"

• we must
• it is logical
• there is no need
• consequently
• henceforth

• This being so (rare)
• In that case
• Given that

Appending an extra adverb such as ‘so’ after the expression – e.g., ‘That being the case so…’ should be avoided.

"If so" (simple); "In which case" (relative)

Learners from languages with similar prepositional constructions may insert additional linking words like ‘therefore’, leading to redundancy; keep it concise and only introduce a direct consequence clause.

• logical concluding openers

Signals rigorous reasoning, authority, and seriousness in professional or academic discourse.
