Hi Anon

I'm noit quite sure whether you want to use "hold my hand" literally or figuratively. You could use this, for example, if you have a literal meaning in mind:

- While I was sitting in my office, he came in and took hold of my hand.

Hi MM,
Is 'as' also correct to be used instead of 'when' or 'while' here?
Is there any sublte difference among the three words here?
Thank you.

As is OK, too. If there is a difference here, it is too subtle for me.
