Hello, how are you? My doubt is what is the difference between farther and further?
ResponderExcluirDear Marcelo, you can send us your essays via email, so we can correct them and give you some feed back.
ExcluirHi Marcelo,
ResponderExcluirWe are very sorry it took us so long to answer your question. =(
We were trying to redefine the usage of our online resources.
Well, now we are back!
Answering your question:
They are both used as comparative of FAR.
Farther can work as:
1. an adverb: "the farther away you are from your home, the better."
2. or an adjective: "the farther side of the mountain."
Further can work as:
1. an adverb,
1.1✔(also farther |ˈfärT͟Hər|) used to indicate the extent to which one thing or person is or becomes distant from another: "for some time I had wanted to move farther from him."
1.2✔(also farther |ˈfär-|) over a greater expanse of space or time; for a longer way: "we had walked further than I realized."
1.3✔beyond or in addition to what has already been done: "we are investigating ways to further increase our IsF student's satisfaction."
2. an adjective:
2.1✔(also farther |ˈfär-|)more distant in space than something else of the same kind: "two students were standing at the further end of the clearing."
2.2✔ additional to what already exists or has already taken place, been done, or been accounted for: "study for a further ten minutes."
3. as a verb: help the progress or development of (something); promote: "he had depended on using them to further his own career."
✩✰☆Usage: Traditionally, farther and farthest were used in referring to physical distance: "the falls were still two or three miles farther up the path."
Further and furthest were restricted to figurative or abstract senses: "we decided to consider the matter further."
Although farther and farthest are still restricted to measurable distances, further and furthest are now common in both senses: "put those plants the furthest from the window."
