Hello! Dear Bean, will you be so kind as to tell us why you mentioned the only one possible meaning of the conjunction "as long as"? After watching your video, I even felt myself somewhat shaken and bemused for a moment because of imagining that I had hitherto been using this conjunction incorrectly. To make sure that I have not got crazy yet, I looked "as long as" up in the dictionary and found that this conjunction may be used as (1) provided that As long as you can come by six, I'll be here (2) seeing that; since As long as you're going to the grocery anyway, buy me a pint of ice cream (3) during the time that; through the period that As long as we were neighbors, they never invited us inside their house
Yes definitely I will watch youtube as long as Ben launches his fantastic videos on his channel in so far as there is such a possibility So good at explaining syntax that it is incredible
Hello Ben, thanks for showing us the difference between them. I've heard people using both expressions interchangebly, but now I do know the real purpose of each one.
Thank you for making clear its meaning. As of yet, I haven't realised that it was used in a conditional sentence as a conjunction!! Now, it's crystal clear to me. A new 'tool' that I can use in my speaking and writings! 😃 So, Thank you very much!
Insofar as I understand this situation, the environment is getting worse. A top- notch introducción to explain something. Thank you very much Ben. As long as you tidy your room, you can watch series!!!
Hello Ben. Could I ask you to talk about the "will be doing" form? Here in this video you said at the beginning "I know some of you'll be thinking it's not advanced" Is it used in the suppositional meaning (like "Ask John, he'll know" - he probably knows or "I must call my parents, they will be worrying" - they are probably worrying, and it's about now) or is it pure future continuous, about future? And the 2nd instance was at the end: " You'll be doing me a great favour if you click on the like button". This use is not like "I'll be working at 2 pm" which is pretty clear. Is it like " I'll be seeing him tomorrow " (because we work together and not because we've arranged to meet). I also know this form can be used to express a polite request "will you be using your car today" as a natural course of events. Hoe often would you yourself use it? Thank you)
Grammar, yet delivered in a soothing manner. It's sooo comforting ☺️ Btw. Blue matches your eyes - pardon my manners, but as a "senior teacher" I guess I'm allowed 😉 Amy! 😻😽😺
Hi Ben, I have a question about a quote using this conjunction. It says: For as long as I can remember, I just wanted to do what was right.... This is a quote from Steve Rogers in Captain America the Winter Soldier. I understand the meaning, but I cannot translate it straight away in my mind (I am a Spaniard). In that sentence adding the word for initially, the conjunction's meaning as long as changes, isn't it? Is it For as long as interchangeable for Since? Thank you for your videos. I discovered you thanks to Gideon! Enjoy the north of Spain. I am a jealous expatriate!
That is the comparative use of "as long as" (meaning 1 in the video) but it's referring to time rather than physical length. It's emphasizing that it's a long time
Dear Ben, I'm asking you to help me clarify the stative verbs rule, according to which they cannot be used in continuous tenses. However, there are so many exceptions like thinking, feeling, and other stative verbs that we often use in present continuous, present perfect continuous, past continuous, past perfect continuous, and future continuous. Eg. “I am thinking about you, I have been thinking about you, I am feeling awful, I’m having a party next week, I'm still loving you, and so many others. Could you please make a video to clear up once for all these aspects? Thank you!
We'll keep watching your bee's knees channel, as long as your lessons are the dog's bollocks. Good night, god bless and much love . Off I go ! Signing off!

If I have figured it out, I m going to give two examples in relation to these two phrases: 1st: I''take the blame for the defeat,as long as all of my teammates do the same thing.. 2nd:I''take the blame insofar as that account for to me.
Oh..Of course, I didn't notice the typing error because of my haste.. When it comes the second one,I meant (account for=be responsible)..Maybe, that's better: I'll take the blame insofar as be responsible.. Any way,thanks a lot for your correction Ben!! I'm going on learning.. I'm from Greece.. My name is Panos.
Watch until the end for a bonus example Amy and Bimba (and Bimba's new friend)!
what a lovely country view at the end of the video!
Thanks Teacher. You put your heart here ❤

To make sure that I have not got crazy yet, I looked "as long as" up in the dictionary and found that this conjunction may be used as

As long as you can come by six, I'll be here
(2) seeing that; since

(3) during the time that; through the period that
As long as we were neighbors, they never invited us inside their house
Oh, that is a perturbent remark!!!! I had the same impression watching the video, but YOU cleared up the point!!! Thanks a lot!🙏🌺
Your videos are pretty helpful! Thanks!
Yes definitely I will watch youtube as long as Ben launches his fantastic videos on his channel in so far as there is such a possibility So good at explaining syntax that it is incredible
Thank you for the lesson 👌
Excellent as always
Thanks for the explanation. Short and to the point!
As long as I watch Ben's RUclips lessons my English improves! Thanks!
P.S. Amy and cats are so cute!❤
Hello Ben, thanks for showing us the difference between them. I've heard people using both expressions interchangebly, but now I do know the real purpose of each one.
I'm glad I could clarify it for you, Edilson
Good examples
Congrats for another great video!I'm glad I came across your youtube channel months ago!
Thanks Mihai... I'm glad too 🙂
Please, can you tell me which are the essays i have to do for Cambridge exam, at the writting part?
Thank you for making clear its meaning.
As of yet, I haven't realised that it was used in a conditional sentence as a conjunction!! Now, it's crystal clear to me. A new 'tool' that I can use in my speaking and writings! 😃
So, Thank you very much!
Great! You're welcome 🙂
Insofar as I understand this situation, the environment is getting worse. A top- notch introducción to explain something. Thank you very much Ben. As long as you tidy your room, you can watch series!!!
Excellent! (except the spelling of introduction 🙂)
Holla Ben! Hope you are well. Thanks for another new upload lesson
Thanks for watching, Freddie 🙂
The pleasure is all mine. Ciao for now and stay mellow as Gideon would say.

Sure. I'll look into making a video on that 👍
Algorithm loves it and we love u

Grammar, yet delivered in a soothing manner. It's sooo comforting ☺️
Btw. Blue matches your eyes - pardon my manners, but as a "senior teacher" I guess I'm allowed 😉

You're allowed 😃 Thanks!

1st: I''take the blame for the defeat,as long as all of my teammates do the same thing..
2nd:I''take the blame insofar as that account for to me.
The first one is correct (with "I'll") but the second one doesn't make sense I'm afraid.
Oh..Of course, I didn't notice the typing error because of my haste..
When it comes the second one,I meant (account for=be responsible)..Maybe, that's better: I'll take the blame insofar as be responsible..
