Asked by Ilma
Hello.
Do you think it's possible to use the phrase "as long as" in the meaning "because", for example: "I can't help him as long as (because) I don't know his problem." Or will it be understood as "while"?
Thank you for your help.

Using "as long as" in that sentence implies that you CAN help him once he tells you what his problem is.
Using "because" in that sentence implies that it's a done-deal -- you cannot help him because you don't know what his problem is.
