Good Evening Everybody,
While looking through some of my JLPT 4 flashcards I came upon two kanji that are giving me some trouble, 前 and 先. It seems that they both mean 'before (ahead, previous, former)' - and in example sentences they seem to both be used temporally and spacially. Can somebody please compare and contrast these two kanji? Which one would be used in phrases like 'eat before leaving' and 'the house [located] before the river', and 'the job that I had before'?
どうもありがとございます!
