💡 Memory Tip
Think of the word 'FAR' as standing for 'Far Away Region' — something that is in a region you cannot easily reach, reminding you it always means great distance.
Picture yourself standing on a hilltop at dusk, gazing at a tiny flickering light on the horizon — so small it barely exists. That light is far, far away. Every time you hear 'far', recall that distant, lonely flicker on the horizon.
