older 泛指新旧、老幼、年龄的大小关系。而elder 主要用来表示兄弟姐妹的长幼关系。
he is the oldest boy in our classroom.
His eldest son died last year. 最大的儿子去年去世了。
older 既可以做表语也可以做定语,elder通常做定语;
My elder brother is two years older than I.
Useeldertotalkaboutt
elder 只用在指大哥哥、大姐姐(elder brother,elder sister)
其他情况都用older
e。g。I am older than my cousin。
My elder brother is older than me。
这样记方便很多
older指旧的;老的
elder指长的;大的,如elder sister(大姐姐) elder brother(大哥哥)
