Grammar
Selective, selected
Hi
I keep on confusion the use of 'selective' and 'selected' which seem to have overlapping meaning. e.g. I have only a few selective/selected friends on FB. Which one to go where? Please help me to use the two correctly. Thanks.
selected (adj)
: SELECT; specifically : of a higher grade or quality than the ordinary
[M-W's Col. Dic.]
