At your last example:
I live far from work.
Mary lives farther.
John lives the farthest.

Can we use: Mary lives farther. (without second object)?
Or we should tell: Mary lives farther than I do.
Please, advise.

Tuesday, July 28th 2009

    Hi Red Deer,

    If you said “I live far from work. Mary lives farther.” It would be correct or you could express the same thought in the sentence that you wrote “Mary lives farther from work than I do.” Both are correct.

Hi Valen,

Really thank you for the lesson.
I really like it. It’s so beneficial.
About a set of ur example:

I live far from work.
Mary lives farther.
John lives the farthest.

In these sentence above, Aren’t the word ‘FAR’, ‘FARTHER’, and ‘FARTHEST’ adverb?
When I read them I think that they modify the word ‘live’ and ‘lives’, respectively.
I wonder if they r adjectives or adverbs.

I’d be so glad if u’ll clarify it for me some.
Thank u in advance my teacher.

Take care and god bless u.
