Hello,

I would like to know if the following sentence is grammatically correct:

Thank you!

i think it is correct as along as " since " means "because" in this contest.

It's fine. Here I would prefer "because" to "since."

My preference is:

1. Because he is the owner of the store, he should take the responsibility of the management. [direct cause]
2. Because I want to make a contact with him, I would like to know his name. [direct cause]
3. Is he the owner of the store? I would like to know his name. [confirmation + purpose]

4. If "I want to know the name of the store owner", then, "Since he is the owner of the store, I would like to know his name." However, in this case, the part following "if" alone would be sufficient.
