Hi everyone, can you help me please? Am I doing a mistake if I write:
It �s such a far way to school that I can �t possibly walk
It �s such a long way to my school that I can �t possibly walk.
Are these both sentences correct? Or just only one? And which one?
Thanks in advance |

I don �t know if I �d say you were making a mistake because maybe in other forms of English people would use "far" like that. It sounds very awkward to me. Your second choice is what we �d use here in the US.

Or I might say "School is so far (away) that I can �t..."
