Choose the sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

  • A.Sumit is my elder brother.
  • B.He is two years younger to me.
  • C.He is the eldest man of this village.
  • D.Ravi is five years older than me.

Answer: C

Correct answer: He is the eldest man of this village.

A superlative is followed by in before a place: the eldest man in this village. Of is used before a group of people (the eldest of the brothers).

The other three are sound:

  • Sumit is my elder brother - elder is correct attributively within a family.
  • He is two years younger to me - junior/senior to takes to, and this follows that pattern.
  • Ravi is five years older than me - correct.
