Distance with 离

Structure A + 离 + B + 远/近

离 (lí) expresses the distance between two points: A 离 B + 远/近 ("A is far from / near B"). 我家离公司很近 = "my home is near the office". It also works for time remaining: 离考试还有三天 ("there are three days until the exam"). No 是 needed.

Examples

My home is near the office.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
