What is the grammar associated with "considerable distance away"?
Please someone let me know what are the grammar rules which are related to the following sentence. Though I can understand the meaning of the sentence without difficulty, I cannot realise the grammar. I know we can write "far away", in which "far" acts as an adverb. However, when it comes to the following sentence, "considerable distance" is a noun phrase. That's what confuses me.
I live a considerable distance away from the branch.

This doesn't work. We don't use 'can', 'cannot', 'could', 'could not' with 'realise'. Also, we don't 'realise' common nouns like 'grammar'.
Just say "I don't understand the grammar".
