at an earlier time, not now

At a time in the past, but not now.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] was formerly [state/role/name]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *formerly* like *before* to talk about order of actions in one story (e.g., "I ate lunch formerly I went to work"). *Formerly* is not used this way. It describes a past state that is no longer true, especially in formal writing: "He was formerly a teacher" (not about sequence of actions, but about a change in role). Learners also sometimes put *formerly* in unnatural positions; the most common are after *was/were* ("was formerly"), before a noun ("formerly a teacher"), or before *known as* ("formerly known as").
ہم معنی الفاظ
previously (Very close in meaning; slightly less formal and more common in everyday speech.) | earlier (Often focuses on an earlier point in a sequence of events, not always with the idea that the situation has changed permanently.) | once (More narrative or story-like; can sound more emotional or literary than 'formerly'.)
متضاد الفاظ
currently (Emphasizes the present time, contrasting with something that was true only in the past.) | now (A very common, simple opposite that points to the present moment instead of an earlier time.)
