Can I use both late and later?

[Jesus]

Hi!. Oh my god! How many doubts today!. I am really studying English very hard! Thanks for everything!.

"I don?t mind you going out ?till late/later tonight"

Can I use both late and later?. Is it the same meaning?

I really wanna say it?s not a problem that he or
she goes out ?till 5,6,7,8... a.m in the morning.
For instance, a saturday night!

Thanks in advance!

My, my, Jes?s, aren't you the permissive one! You have to stay at home and study English while someone else can stay out and have fun .

Let's have a look at your sentence:

"I don't mind you going out till late/later tonight"

Late is not the same as later.

For the meaning you want to convey in your sentence, you need the adverb 'late' (after the proper time, until an advanced hour).

'Later' or 'later on' means afterwards, subsequently. It is any time after now and it can be either late or early. Later tonight can be in a few minutes or in a few hours.

Don't work too hard!
