Question about Simplified Chinese (China)
for the following sentence, can I add "hui" before "mingtian"?
wo mingtian hui zao dian lai, dagai zao shang ba dian = I will be here earlier tomorrow at around 8am...
Can I say:
wo hui mingtian zao dian lai, dagai zao shang ba dian?
According to my dictionary, zao dian = breakfast but I thought zao fan = breakfast? Does zao dian = a bit earlier? dian = a bit and zao = early?

早点 zao dian when used as adverb usually it would be pronounced with er (no issue if no er also) which means earlier than usual. If used as noun, like you asked in your question, we never speak with er sound and in this case it would mean breakfast only.

it's a bit weird to add "hui"before "mingtian",but we can still understand what you mean.
about zao dian and zao fan. I think it's not depend on the time.When you have zao dian,you eat something like dim sum, more delicate you may say. When you have zao fan, you eat something more casual, like baozi, fried doll or congee.

but they are very alike.
and I think people from northern China say zao fan more often.
