How do you use latter in a sentence?
- She liked the latter plan much better.

- In the latter category, one text stuck out.
- The latter part of his life was spent at Heraclea.
- When there is an option between a tree and an adjacent house, the latter is doubtless the safer choice.
What does it mean by doing the latter?
The latter should only be used to refer to the second of two things or people which have already been mentioned. Given the choice between working for someone else and working for the family business, she'd prefer the latter. You use the former to talk about the first of two things already mentioned.
