Common in both spoken and written language. Avoid using it in extremely formal writing; in that context, consider 'prior to'. | 用‘earlier’来指代当前讨论时间之前的某个时间。语气比较中性。在需要精确时间参考的非常正式的场合，最好避免使用。Use 'earlier' to refer to a time before what is currently being discussed. It is neutral in tone. Avoid using it in highly formal contexts where specific time references are needed. | 使用'之前'来连接过去的事件与现在。适用于口语和书面语，但在随意对话中可能听起来太正式。Use 'previously' to connect past events with the present. It's suitable for both spoken and written contexts but may sound too formal in casual conversations. |
