Definition: Having much distance from one terminating point on an object or an area to another terminating point (usually applies to horizontal dimensions; see Usage Notes below).

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today, At the word “longer,” and what it does convey! The dictionary gives us a helpful clue, “Distance between points, for me and you!” It says "longer" means how far things extend, From one end to another, without end! Think of a road, stretching out so wide, Or a river flowing, with nowhere to hide. It’s about the horizontal space, you see, Measuring width – that's key for me! Like a table, long and grand, or a hallway bright, “Longer” describes their length, with all its might! So remember this: it’s distance defined, Between two points, of every kind. Does anyone have an example they can share? Let's hear your thought, let's really compare!
