Answer:

Use “farther” for physical distance and “further” for metaphorical, or figurative, distance. It's easy to remember because “farther” has the word “far” in it, and “far” obviously relates to physical distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a Webster's New World dictionary that will help you with the words farther and further.

Hopefully this answer helped you.
