Before/Earlier than?
Which usage should I go for in this case:"My visa allows me to enter the US one month before/earlier than the session begins."?
What I think is that, if it was the latter,
the sentence'd have to be constructed as "My visa allows me to enter the US one month earlier than the time that the session actually begins."
Please do correct me if I was wrong in any way.
TIA

CliveHi, Just say 'before'. CliveIs there anything wrong with saying "My visa allows me to enter the US one month earlier than the time that the session actually begins."?
(The problem I can find here is that it's being a little fussy, am I right?)
JUst making sure.
