- What's the difference between further and farther? How do you know when to use "further" or farther" in your sentence? It's actually very easy, and that's what you'll learn in this video!
Most people, including native English speakers, are confused by "further" and "farther" and they're not sure which one to use. Many even think that they're interchangeable and it doesn't matter which one you use.
There's an easy trick to use to remember if you need "further" or "farther" in your sentence.
Use "farther" for physical distance and use "further" for metaphorical/figurative distance. If you're ever in doubt and you're not sure which one to use, use "further".
In this video, we'll review these rules in detail and we'll review example sentences so you can compare "further" and "farther" in a natural context.

Thank you for the excellent video and it is something new we learnt today. Here is an example using these words, "The farther that I travel down this road, the further behind schedule I get"
Very good!
Best instructor I have ever seen
Wow, appreciate that!
Hi Jennifer I found your channel today, your explanations are very clear and your attitude is funny that motivates everyone to continue improving. Here are my sentences.
This place is inmense if you go farther you can get lost in the forest.
Hurricanes and wildfires affected people in California and most of them are still not able to continue working until further notice.
If you want to become even more professional and make betters business in our company, you have to think further than usual.
I am tired because today I have run 10 kilometers that if I run farther I will faint on the street.
Welcome! It’s so great to have you here! I post videos every day so keep watching. 🙌
By far it is the best English class about further and farther I have ever had. Good. Brilliant.
So happy to hear that! 😁
Hello Jennifer! Nice to see you! Thank you so much for your lesson! It was such interesting! My examples:
Wait a bit, and further, there is to be the light at the end of the tunnel.
This destination is farther.
Perfect, you got it! 🙌

This unit is really confusing thanks to your short video I won't confuse these anymore.
Good luck to everybody who want to achieve his or her goals, Ukraine.
Awesome example! 👍
I had already had good information about these two words, however your further comments made It even clearer.
Glad to hear that!
Great! You made It so clear now!
I was really using them interchangebly.
Thanks a lot!!
Haha, no worries, most native speakers do ;)

thannnnnnnnk you, my best English teacher
My pleasure! 😁
Dear Jennifer! Thank you very much for phrase: "Let`s dive in with...".As far as I am concerned, I would say: "Let`s dig in our lesson". Hope that phrase can be understood to native speakers. Thanks a lot!
Yes, you could say that!
Would it be more correct to say: "Let's dig (into) our lesson"?
@@funkaddictions I don`t know, I am a learner as well.
No problem, I just want to learn and help at the same time. It's an idiom.
Dig into
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus.
dig in(to) (something)
1. Literally, to dig a hole into something, such as the ground. I had to dig into the soil and create a hole for the flowers.
2. To investigate in an attempt to uncover information about someone or something, often negative information. I've been digging into the archives for any information on her past, but I haven't found a single thing. 😀 There are more meanings, though.
@@funkaddictions Thank you. As far as I know, the phrase "dig in” is used when someone encourages someone to do something, for example, I tell guests: “I have already set the festive table, let`s dig in!”😉💯
Thank you so much for this lesson! Thank so much for this video! Now I can understand crystal clear the difference between farther and further 😁
Glad it was helpful!
Such a great explanation again! Such an amazing English Teacher you are! Let me read some sentences using these two words: I live in Brazil, so New York is farther than Miami. My teacher always says: Do you guys have further questions?
Thank you! 😃
Now it is completely clear, as usual, you have been very efficient, greetings
So happy to hear that! 😁
Great video! Thanks a lot Teacher!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊
Thanks for your informative explanation. Quite easy to listen to and understand as a Japanese.
But Almost all of us Japanese can't distinguish them to pronounce or listen correctly.
Both sound just same for us if not spoken slowly like you in this video.
my nicest english teacher thanks ❤
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊
Very helpfull. Thanks a lot!!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊
Thank you Jennifer ❤
My pleasure! 😁
looking fwd to further classes! super cool vid thank you, just let you know that I went to the lake you recommended in Huston but it was wayyy farther then expected how far was it? farther than the distance between the silicon valley to vegas, by now I have no further doubts about the differences, so cheers and thank you for that
👍
Very beautifully illustrated. Grateful to you madam !!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊

Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊Short n' sweet, that's my goal!
@@JForrestEnglish short videos would be easy to watch, thank you so much.😍😍
Now the difference is crystal clear,I won't need a further explanation.Thanks. To make the distinction between farther and further you need only one thing :watch this video and don't go farther.
Awe, that’s so sweet of you! 🥰
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for this lesson.
Example with farther: How much further do we need to drive in order to get our destination?
Example with further: Do you have any further question or concern about this topic?
Hi Jennifer. Thanks a lot for this video.
My pleasure! 😁
Hi Jennifer these two words leave me confused so far I have not managed to understand
Thanks for your support and have a great Thursday my beautiful teacher 😉🇧🇷
Keep practicing!
I came here searching any further information about this topic and I found it. Thanks
Hi
You are always generous with us please.
can you explain us what difference between (late. lately and hard. hardly) because most peopl confused between it🌹
That’s a great question! I’ll add it to the list for a future video. 👩🏫
Uuuh! 😯 Your lessons are making us go further and further.
Haha, so true!
What about if the father answer the kids questions with: its a bit further away?
Is that used correctly?
Yep!
on these hard days, don't go farther from your house until further notice
YES! Way to get both in 1 sentence, that's impressive!
good job!
@@JForrestEnglish but in that case further will be like new and doesn't figurative distante right? I'm confused with this example 🤯🤣
Thank you . I get further lesson from you .
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊
Informative
😊
Hey Jennifer, Is it common for adjectives to get "s" and become nouns like "essentials"? Is it a noun at all? thank you
That’s a great question! I’ll add it to the list for a future video. 👩🏫
.. informative, thank you..
this is the best explanation; no one says, "farthermore"
Haha, that's a good point!
Do you have any further lessons about literature focus??
How much farther is it??❤❤❤
You rocked it! 😎
Hi Jennifer
1.Goto desk number 2 for further inquiry .
2. How farther is the coffe shop from here?
Those are great examples! 👍
Thank you.
My pleasure! 😁
I'm from England and I have never used the word "farther" in any context. All UK dictionaries, and the major US ones, define further and farther as comparative adverbs, so I wonder where this distinction originated from?
Awesome 👍❤️
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊
Lovely Jennifer!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊
Thank you
You're welcome!
do you have any further fruitful videos about english grammatical rules?
I sure do 😃
I love it 😻 thank youuu
You're welcome, @lurendonvlog! 👍
I legit thought they were the same, same usage! So thank you lol
Haha, well most native speakers use them interchangeably...or just use "further" all the time ;)
JForrest English Yeah, I bet so, I hardly hear "farther" :)
Splendid video ma'am. Ma'am plz make a video on "Subjunctive mood."
That’s a great question! I’ll add it to the list for a future video. 👩🏫
HI Jennifer, thanks a lot for this video, my examples, she can throw a ball farther than her brother can, we have any further information available from our website.
Awesome examples! 👏
thanks for the explanation. I like how u speak a little bit slower to make sure we get the idea.
Glad it was helpful!
the boat went farther away from the beach so because of this the sailor should have a further information about the area . is this right ? ( thank you very much MS, Jennifer )
Very nice
Thanks!
Thanks ta much.
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊
LOL... I realized something when you were breaking the word 'farther' down and how one would remember it better. But then, I saw something weird; not 'then but "fart" and then "her". Now I really remember this. Thanks. hahahahaaha.
Haha!
How much farther drive we need to arrival to our destination?
Do you have further sertificates of your specialisation?
Amazing job! 🥳
@@JForrestEnglish 💚🌏
Ok thanks, any further informations?.
Exactly ;)
Is it means, in the question usage, further = more?
Exactly!
Farther I go , Further I'll get to know about this place !!!!
Love it!
Thanks
You’re very welcome! 😊
Hom many farther Hour is left?
Do you have any further details about covid 19 ?
Great job practicing! 👍
Hi please i have a question. Yesterday i had an exam in English department at university, and there was a question which says : 16th century is ..... than 17th and 18th centuries (far) and we have to give comparative of far . I wrote farther , but when the professor made the correction he did further instead fo farther . Do u think I am right or he is
Great job! 👍
@@JForrestEnglish I am sorry , I need an answer for the question above . Is it further or farther 😁
To be honest, I'm in South Africa and we never used "farther". I was always under the impression "further" is British English, and "farther" American English.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I think over this issue there is some further details that we don't know. we are going to meet him about that and destination is much more farther than we have imagined.
If you wanna say "el más allá" the place where dead people go when they die for example, which one would it be the most appropiate?
I don't know, I'd need more context.
When i run my heart starts pouding, when that happens i feel like i can't go any farther
Learning english is quite a challenge, sometimes you get to the point when you don't know how to move further
Keep practicing! You've got this! 🙌
How much farther to get visa I’m already asti 8 years for visa in Australia
Perfect, you got it! 🙌
Now I can go further in my english learning.
Great job! 👍
Because 'farther' and 'further' are one of the most confusing pairs in English even for native speakers, I think we should be careful when using them.
Due to the pandemic, my trip to Australia has been further delayed.
I usually use my bike to get around my neighborhood, but when I need to go farther, I take the public bus.
Perfect, you got it! 🙌
Hi Jennifer! The meeting has been cancelled until further notice. My school is 10m farther than the public library. Thanks for the awesome video☺
Those are great examples! 👍
A bit further down the road? Although it's distance?
Learning English is enjoyable, knowledge is power
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! 😊
Hi Jenefer, where are you? You're not making videos why? I miss you a lot, I hope you're doing well and everything is alright for you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, so if you can make a sign for us.
