Hello River -
I'm not too sure either of those sound correct to me.
How about...."My house is two miles away from yours." ?
Where did you find these examples? Are they your own or are they from a book/test?

Thanks Philo.
These examples are my own. I just wonder if they are grammatical.  |

| River, you could use by in your sentence to make it grammatical (I think), but even then, it'd be a very unusual sentence. |
