What's the meaning of: as long as? and when I should use it?

"as long as" means "for the length of time" that something continues.

Answer

In addition to Ruthi's answer, it can be used to indicate that any condition is true.

I will go as long as you agree to go, too,
As long as you play with him, he will like you.

There is no sense of time here, but only whether something is true or not.
