I think you mean "This office is 38 kilometres closer than where I work now". My question is - closer to what? Closer to your home?

My present office, where I work, is 78 km away from my home and the other office is 40 km from my home. I got the clue from you. Is the following sentence now correct? This office is 38km closer to my home than where I work now. Last edited: Dec 1, 2022

That use doesn't really sound wrong to me, but then I'm Indian. I agree the OP's use was incorrect.

Click to expand... I had two words in my mind to write. One was "make" and the other was "construct". I chose to write "make".
