In this lesson, you will learn the difference between older and elder. Both words are comparative adjectives but we use them in slightly different situations and positions in the sentence.
Comparative adjectives are used to compare 2 or more things, people or places. We also use them to compare 1 thing, person or place at different times. We use "than" after the comparative adjective to say what we are comparing something with. Example: The mouse is smaller than the cat.

The rules are different depending on whether the adjective is 1 syllable, 2 syllable and more or irregular. more >>> see this video.
