What is the difference between 'as long as' and 'as far as'??^^
As far as I know the truth, you can't run away!
As long as I know the truth, you can't run away!
Can I use those sentences?
Would you explain about the difference?^^

"As far as" and "as long as" can be treated like idioms.
"As far as" means "Regarding [a topic]"
Example: As far as your safety is concerned, you cannot run away! OR Regarding your safety, you cannot run away!
"As long as" means "while"
Example: As long as I know the truth, you cannot run away! OR While I know the truth, you cannot run away!
Hope that helps! :-)

Yes sure, they are totally different.
You can use as far as in the context "As far as I remember (if I remember correctly)
Regarding to As long as, you can say: I can sing it as long as I have a voice (you will be able to sing the song if you still have a voice)
That's it :)
