I have a few questions

What are old students in school called. old students = someone who's been in tht school for some years. New students are called new comers I guess.

A- My cat died of cancer yday.

B- I am so sorry.

How does A respond?

What does this phrase mean? I made grin & barn out of it.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I guess they can be called as "seniors". At least in films they tend to do that.
