Mr.吴
What does it mean "far behind" "far beyond" "question so far" and "far better" instead of using far better can I use the word "way better or by far" Ex. "I liked the movie by far" This is a right or wrong application of the word far better instead of by far or way better? Can you give an example of each word to understand the whole context of the word.

Far literally means ( to be in a long distance from ), so, when is used in a figurative way, it is used to make a comparison between two things Ex: He is far Taller = He is a lot taller ( than someone else of course) This book is far Better that those in here = This book is much more better than the others in here So, i wish this was helpful ! Now i must get FAR away from here!
