Definition

As far as I can tell, (he is telling the truth): As much as I know, from what I can see, (he is telling the truth) idiom

Examples

  • "As far as I can tell, we don't even have any security here at our offices."
Exercise 1
True or False? Polly has always known about Delavigne's deficient security system.
True or False? Polly has always known about Delavigne's deficient security system.
This statement is not true. Note, the phrase "as far as I can tell" does NOT mean "for as long as I have known". "As far as I can tell (he is telling the truth)" = "from what I can see/as much as I know/to the best of my knowledge (he is telling the truth)".
Polly has only "recently" learned about the status of Delavigne's security system, meaning that she hasn't "always" known about it.
