NEED YOUR INPUT Why didn't you come earlier/ sooner?

[dcomest]

Hi!

Need your help.

Are there any differences between the sentences when I use EARLIER or SOONER?

(a) Why didn't you come earlier/ sooner?
(b) Why didn't you wake me up earlier/ sooner?
(c) If I had known that, I would have bought the house earlier/ sooner?

Do both mean the same thing? Are they interchangeable in any context?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Why didn't you come earlier? (It's like: Why didn't you come early in the morning/evening/afternoon).
Why didn't you come sooner? (It's like: Why didn't you come in ten minutes)

Why didn't you wake me up earlier? (It's like: Why didn't you wake me up at seven o'clock (now its eight o'clock))
Why didn't you wake me up sooner? I don't think, that this is correct.

If I had known that, I would have bought the house earlier/ sooner? I don't think, that earlier/sooner are the right words here. Perhaps someone else could help you.


Kind regards,
Dany
