मिलते-जुलते शब्द अलग रखिए: latter = दो में से बाद वाला (the latter), later = बाद में, letter = पत्र/अक्षर, litter = कूड़ा। Latter में double t और a है — 'the last one' की तरह।

Keep the family of look-alikes apart: LATTER is the second of two (the latter), LATER means afterwards, LETTER is a written message or an alphabet sign, and LITTER is rubbish. Latter has double t and an a, just like 'the last one'.

Exam note

Former (पहला) और latter (दूसरा) SSC का पक्का जोड़ा है। Latter सिर्फ़ दो चीज़ों में; दो से ज़्यादा हों तो the last।

Former (the first) and latter (the second) are a fixed SSC pair. Latter is used only when there are two items; for more than two, use the last.
