What is the difference btn elder and older
Dear student
Elder and older both mean the same thing that is "more in age"
but older can be used for both things and people
whereas elder is only used for people that too usually for people closer to you.
For eg-
I have an elder brother = correct
I have a brother who is older than me = correct
That chair is older than it looks = correct
That chair is elder than it looks = wrong
Hope it helps!
Regards
