How do you use the word farther?

"Farther" is used to describe physical distance. It's the comparative form of "far," meaning "more distant."

Here are some examples:

* "We drove farther than we expected." (This means they traveled a greater distance than anticipated.)

* "The library is farther away than the grocery store." (This means the library is physically located at a greater distance compared to the grocery store.)

* "The sun is farther away than the moon." (This is stating a fact about the physical distances of the sun and moon from Earth.)

Important Note: "Farther" is used for physical distance. For abstract concepts like time or degree, use "further."

Here are some examples:

* "We discussed the matter further before making a decision." (This refers to a deeper level of discussion, not physical distance.)

* "He had no further questions." (This means he didn't have any additional questions, not that they were located at a greater distance.)

Remember to use "farther" for physical distance and "further" for abstract concepts!
