Early in the morning
Are these sentences correct:
1) It is early in the morning for doing this kind of work.
2) It is early in the morning to do this kind of work.
3) It is too early in the morning for doing this kind of work.
4 It is too early in the morning to do this kind of work.
I think the second two imply that one should not be doing 'this kind of work' this early in the morning. The first two are less strong. Work like that could be done this early in the morning, but maybe one should leave it for later.
Gratefully,
Navi.

The first two sentences are wrong. The logic is unclear (you need to say what the time has to do with the work). " The opening half of the first two sentences would work with a different idea.

The first two sentences are wrong. The logic is unclear (you need to say what the time has to do with the work). The second ones are okay, although I would word it:
"It is too early in the morning to be doing this kind of work."
The opening half of the first two sentences would work with a different idea. For example:
It is early in the morning and the birds are singing.
"It is too early in the morning to be doing this kind of work."
