Is the clock early or late? Is it delayed or ahead?
How to speak properly when someone or something is before or after the right time?

Question

Answer

They would be either early or late. They could be ahead of schedule if they’re arriving extra early or delayed if they’re arriving extra late.

If a clock is set to the wrong time, however, it would be slow if the actual time is later than the clock shows and fast if the actual time is earlier than the clock shows.
