Does "go so much distance" mean "run about" in this sentence, “To revive the church, I've gone so much distance and suffered so much”? I didn't find many examples in Google about "go so much distance".
Hey Armugam, 'To go so much distance' is 'to do a lot' for anything...so your sentence actually means, "To revive the church, I've done a lot and suffered so much." Hope this satisfies your query. Regards
