Hello, People don't normally use 'elder' unless they're talking about close relatives/family members. For example, 'my elder sister.' 'Elder' is used in front of a noun like that. 'Older' is an adjective and is more of a comparison - in that something or someone is older than something or someone else. I hope that helps. Linda
