Previous? Former?
I wonder what's the differences between "former" and "previous".
I know how to use the two words to create sentences. However, I heard someone discussed the two words yesterday, I got confused. It means that I don't understand the definition of two words thoroughly. Is it possible to create sentences to make me understand easily? Many thanks in advance.
