I wish to know if it is okay to use "away" after the superlative/comparative forms of "Far" since I have come across this sentence:
I am the farthest from the grace of my family members.
Is this ungrammatical? Should I use "away" after it?
I'm farther (away) from him than you.
I'm the farthest (away) from them at the party.
I don't think "away from" and "far from" have the same meaning. "Away from" simply means that there is some, undefined distance between two objects. "Far from" means that there is a far distance between them - I might put my USB stick away from my computer, but if they're both on the same desk, they're not exactly far from one another. – nick012000 – 2020-05-23T12:39:00.497
"Far away' is a commonly used phrase. The use of 'away' should be unaffected by its change to comparative or superlative forms, like farther, or farthest. – Ram Pillai – 2020-05-23T13:42:24.927
