Hi everyone,

somebody can explain to me the mean of "as far as". Could you give some examples about using it?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Geo777!

I have already understood the meaning of "as far as". Besides the meaning of equal compare then it also has the meaning like "the knowlege that I have known untill now". For example:
as far as I know then he is very selfish

Thanks.

"As far as I know" doesn't mean "until now". It means 'to my knowledge'. Please note the spelling of the word 'until'.
