fair in the future

One day, perhaps far in/into the future, you'll regret what you've done.

The children ran to the far side/corner of the room.


Could you explain the phrases, "far in the future", "far side/corner" for me?

Hi Gary Saying 'far in the future' means 'in the distant future' or 'a long time from now'. In other words, 'not soon'. The 'far side/corner' usually is the side or corner that is furthest away.
