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?

Clothes and clothing refer to the things you wear – shirts, pants, underwear, dresses, suits, etc. ***Cloth is the material, the fabric. Cotton, wool, silk, etc. are different types of cloth. There is also a pronunciation difference: The o in clothes/clothing sounds like the o in “no.” The o in cloth sounds like the aw in “saw.” Now, what about clothes and clothing? They are mostly the same, and sometimes used interchangeably, but there is a tiny difference: ***Clothing is more formal, and usually refers to a general category: men’s clothing, women’s clothing, athletic clothing, clothing made from natural materials, etc. ***Clothes refers to the individual items that you wear. You pack your clothes in your suitcase before going on a trip, and you take off your clothes before taking a shower.
