Q:
What does as far back as mean?
A:
well, the word “as” is used for comparisons. When you use “as”, it shows that two or more things are the same. For example, “I am as tall as my brother” means my brother and I are the same height. So when you’re using “as far back as” it’s saying that two or more things go back the same in distance or in time.
For example, say I’m competing with my friend to see who can jump backwards the farthest. Once I jump backwards, I can say “Ha! I bet you can’t jump as far back as me!” And if my friend jumps back and lands right next to me, he would’ve jumped as far back as me, because our distance from the first point to the next, would’ve been the same.
When using it to refer to time, it means that two or more things occurred during the same period in time. I’ll use myself as an example. my brother and I started attending school at the same age , so I could say “I started attending school as far back as my brother” because we started in the same year. Or I could say “As far back as 13 years ago, my brother and I started attending school.” Because we both started attending school 13 years ago.

Example sentences using "Far"
Q:
Please show me example sentences with as far as.
A:
As far as is often used as a preposition meaning "as for" or "regarding," especially in speech. This construction derives from the term's use as a conjunction (as in as far as the election goes), but with the verb of the clause omitted (as far as the election). A large majority of the Usage Panel frowns on this usage.

Synonyms of "Far" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between far from and far cry from ?
A:
“far from” shows physical distance. Example: Japan is far from California. “Far cry from” shows a more conceptual rather than literal physical difference. Example: That’s a far cry from what I meant to happen.
Q:
What is the difference between farther and further ?
A:
Further and farther have similar meanings. While further is something that is addicional or more and is used when talking about figurative distance, Farther refers to a physical distance. Further is commonly more used than Farther.
for example- Further:
1. We need to research further into this situation. ( find more information about the situation)
2.We intend to stay a further two weeks. ( 2 more weeks)
3. We can’t go any further; the road’s blocked.
Farther- if you're wondering how many more miles or kilometers to a particular destination 1.How much farther are we going?
2.She fell farther than she expected.
hope this wasn't confusing

Q:
What is the difference between as far as and as long as ?
A:
I think the grammatically correct usage would be using "as far as" when talking about physical distance or when talking about an abstract idea that has some sort of limit such as our own knowledge.
"We can go as far as Memphis befote we run out of gas."
"As far as I know, it seems the event is cancelled."
And "as long as" when talking about a maximum/minimum of length such as length of time or length of an object. It can also be used to state a condition that should be met in a situation (a minimum of something to happen in order for another thing to happen).
"This could last as long as two years."
"I can buy a table as long as 6 feet."
"You may go to the movie with your friends as long as you finish your homework first and come back by 10pm."
"We can go as far as Memphis befote we run out of gas."

Q:
What is the difference between as far as and as long as ?
A:
-as far as: refers to the distance
-as long as: refers to the time
these can be understood both literally and not literally, examples:
with distance - I can walk as far as from here to the sea.
not literal: - I can walk as far as you want me to.
with time: -I can drive the car as long as it takes to reach the next town.
not literal:
-I can drive the car as long as I am not tired.
Other examples I can think of that are more loose:
I can drive as far as possible because I never get sleepy.
I can sleep as long as I want, because it is Sunday today.
I can walk as far as my legs can take me.
I can run as long as I want, as far as I want.
As far as I understand, these sentences may be correct.
As long as you trust me I will trust you too.
Hope it helps!
