FARTHER or FURTHER?

They are both comparative forms of FAR and, even though they have been used interchangeably, there is a difference. Read the example below:

The FARTHER that I drive along this road, the FURTHER my bad memories get.

Did you notice the difference?
Well, I think you got it:

FARTHER should be used when you talk about physical distance or position.
while
FURTHER should be used when you talk about degree or time.


Take a look at some other examples:


Your house is farther than I thought.

We hope that the gas prices drop further so we can afford this trip.


Comment about any further information you have.

see you later :)
