Hi there,
I understand the meaning of the above sentence .. but I don't understand its structure!
To be specfic I need to know wether ..
Far is (adv. | adj.)
Across is (prep. | adv. | adj.)
And if you could, please tell me how I can know whether the word is (prep. | adv. | adj.) and whether it is legal to start with (adv.).
Thank You So Much

far - adverb
across - preposition

distance - noun
It is not often you find an adverb modifying a prepositional phrase, but it can happen. The most usual adverb in this position is right.
right in the center
right across the fence
right through the heart
far to the left
far in the future
just in time
across - preposition
the - article
distance - noun

THIS ISNT A SENTENCE!!!!!
a sentence must have a subject and a predicate
in other words, an object and something that the object does or something that is being done to the object
"Far across the distance" is a fragment
it has no predicate since "Far across" only serves as a descriptor, not a predicate

Here,
Far is adverb
Across is also adverb
The sentence meaning comes out with
"The distance and space between us is far across"
