far

1. distance

However, don't use 'far' when you are stating a distance. Don't say, for example, that something is 10 kilometres 'far' from a place. You say that it is 10 kilometres from the place or 10 kilometres away from it.

The hotel is just fifty metres from the ocean.I was about five miles away from some hills.

You use far in questions and negative sentences to mean 'a long distance'. For example, if you say that it is not far to a place, you mean that the place is not a long distance from where you are.

You also use far in questions and negative sentences to talk about the degree or extent to which something happens.

Far more in front of a noun means 'very much more' or 'very many more'.
