No, they aren't the same. 'Early' is a simple adverb. "Earlier" is a comparative. Their meanings can be found in any dictionary.Hello teachers,
1)Please get started early next time.
2)Please get started earlier next time.
Are the above two sentences correct and same?
Hello teachers,

Are the above two sentences correct and same?
#1 is a broad or general reference for starting and suggests that the person(s) was (were) late. #2 requests that the person(s) start earlier than the previous time, but was (were) not necessarily late.
No, it's not, it's the reverse.1)Please get started early next time.
The person started later than he should have.
2)Please get started earlier next time.
The person may not have started late but it would be fine if he starts little soon.
Is it correct? sir.

Yes, it does seem to be. I agree with bhai. But they are both just guesses about the most likely context. Both sentences could be used in the same context.Thank you for your replies.
Bhaisahab post seems to be contradicting post 3#.

The main difference is that one is an ordinary modifying word - "early" - (whether it modifies the noun or the verb) and the other is a comparative. That's what you need to understand. Sometimes the difference is more obvious.
Jack says to Peter:
-1) "You need to be strong if you want to build the house yourself."
Well, Peter might be strong, so 1. doesn't mean that Jack thinks Peter can't build the house.
- 2) "You need to be stronger if you want to build the house yourself."
2 does mean that Jack thinks Peter can't build the house because he is not strong enough.
