Alex, good job! But let me ask you a question. I've heard 'eld' + er or +est id used in comparidons only between two members of a family. For instance, 'John is elder than his brother Paul.' Does this make any sense? I mean, is this information correct?

[@asemguluralova285]

I read that we can’t use the word “elder” with “than”.

[@SalmaAhmed-lu3pl]

Well done . This is correct . I also have heard that .

[@luizviana3981]

[@boybenj05]

thank you alex :D

[@lucasrett8852]

Sorry but, for example... What about the game "the elder scrolls"? Shouldn't elder/eldest be used only for people?

[@АнтонАнтонов-у4б6м]

Why didn't he write : Gina lives in the oldest part of A/THE town. Why did he skip it?

[@jidwhdhdi]

What is about animals?

[@deswantiful]

great

[@tania9890]

Has the word "sibling" plural form too?

[@tommytruth7595]

Yes.

[@zerorebellion4084]

I'm the eldest among my siblings. And it's kinda hard.

[@japalo]

... because that's a proper noun

[@DouglasGames]

the best

[@shatilof]

Why native speakers think they know their languages? Eldest = people? Really?.. How about the elder England or Modern writers may produce compositions in the elder style?

[@Aleeksandra09]

So elder and eldest are about siblings only

[@kekcos]

What I knew was... old + wise = eldest. Is that correct?

[@tommytruth7595]

It is one way that it is used. But it can be used for somebody who is old but not wise.

[@samarahmed8755]

I have 2 sisters and 1 brother .. but I'm the oldest

[@daniwhx]

You have 3 siblings
