Jumpy Wednesday! Thank you so much for completing your homework today.^^ I\'m also very pleased to know that you are interested about the words \"elder\" and \"eldest\". I\'ll try my best to explain it to you. I hope it will help.^^In comparison between two persons, elder means \'older\' but not necessarily \'old\':My elder sister is sixteen; my younger, twelve. Eldest is used when three or more persons are compared: He is the eldest of four brothers.In other contexts elder does denote relatively advanced age but with the added component of respect for a person\'s achievement, as in an elder statesman. If age alone is to be expressed, one should use older or elderly rather than elder: A survey of older Americans; an elderly waiter.Unlike elder and its related forms, the adjectives old, older, and oldest are applied to things as well as to persons. ----T.
