00One more question. Is it OK to use "a long way" without "from here"? ex. "It's a long way." 0-

0 Thanks, Nona. Which do you use more often "far" or "a long way"? Which of these sentences are correct? 1. "The hotel is a long way." 2. "The hotel is far." 3. "The hotel is a long way away." 4. " The hotel is far away."02br
00Is "away" the same as "from here"?0-

0 I learned that "far" is not used alone in affirmative sentences. You can use "so far" though (I'm not sure about "very far").02br

00The hotel is a long way.02br
00The hotel is so far.02br
00The hotel is not far.02br
00Is the hotel far?02br

00But I usually have trouble with "far" and "a long way" too, so... Hm
