Farther vs Further

English is used used as a language of international communication throughout the world. But it can sometimes be puzzling even to native learners. Here we're going to solve one such puzzle.

Farther vs Further

1. Distance 

We use both farther and further to talk about "distance". They mean the same.

For instance, 

"How much farther/further is it?"

"I have to travel farther/further to work now."

"Edinburgh is farther/further away than York."

2. Additional 

Further , but not farther, can also mean "more" or "additional" as illustrated in the examples mentioned below:

"Are there any further questions?"

"For further information, see page 5."

"Further, it is important to consider the cost of repairs."
