Difference between sooner and earlier? Sometimes, I am still confused as to when to use which word. I have heard a ton of times that earlier is more versatile than sooner because it can be used with both past and future tenses whereas sooner is restricted to future tenses. If that's the case, these assumptions must be correct then: The red bus arrived 2 minutes earlier (not sooner) than the blue one. The red bus will arrive 2 minutes earlier/sooner (both work here) than the blue one. I wish we had met an hour earlier (not sooner). Then we would have had enough time to grab a drink together. The meeting has been rescheduled for March 10th, so it will take place two months sooner/earlier. (both work here). Are my assumptions correct and can this be seen as guideline to using these words correctly. Can you please explain the difference between these two words in these contexts to me?
