Hello teacher, I'm Charmaine Alaina. I had some difficulties about the difference between "older" and "elder" Would you please to help me? Thank you very much.
Question: I have been having some difficulties telling the difference between elder and older. Would you help me?
Answer: Whether there is any difference between the two depends on the sentence.
