Grammar
It is to be late vs. it is late. help me please.
Dear Teachers
But it’s better to be early than it is to be late. That’s a good thing to remember.
Can I use "But it’s better to be early than it is late." instead as above in blue.
If not, tell me why not?
Thanks a lot.

No it should be 'to be late' Here it is 'early' against 'late' The grammar is consistency - when it is to be before early it must be the same before late as well. Hence It is --But it's better to be early than to be late.
