Have you tried the dictionary? Double click on each word. - lazarus1907, May 8, 2011
the click on gives mayor as "more", not really accurate - CalvoViejo, May 8, 2011
Well, then check the full version dictionary, which contains examples. - lazarus1907, May 8, 2011

Grande means large (unless it precedes the noun it modifies, then it means great).
Un hombre grande => a large man
Un gran hombre => a great man
Mayor means older or more senior, tallest, chief, main, principal
Este hombre es mi hermano mayor => this is my older brother.
De los cinco, él es mayor => of the five, he is the oldest.
In some situations mayor can also mean largest or larger.

Double clicking an unfamiliar word will give you a one-word definition, but clicking on the word dictionary, above, will give you a complete dictionary definition(s) with examples of usage. I recommend these longer explanations.
