Grade 9Mechanics

I had asked what is the difference between the elastic constant and the modulus of elasticity. So i was told that the spring constant is the force applied/displacement and the modulus of elasticity is the property of the material to gain its shape after stretching. Is this true? Because i have seen that many people r confused as to which has whoch meaning. If this is true, does that mean that a material which has higher modulus of elasticity has higher elastic limit?

High elastic property means fast shape gainer and would return to its original shape when the extrenal forces applied are removed.
