I
moved here about five years back.
(informal – five years in the past from today)
Before and
earlier are used for past times from another time in the past. Here are
some examples:
Yesterday I missed my train. I got to the train station at 7:10,
but the train had
left ten
minutes before. (or ten minutes
earlier)
(= ten minutes before 7:10 yesterday)
I was very happy when I
got this job last January,
because I had lost my
previous job
six months before. (or six months
earlier).
(= six months before last January)
