I got my USA green card about 1.5 years ago, and I am living in USA from that time. I am going to know if there is a way to become citizen early? Is it possible for the lawyers to do that? if so how much they charge me?

You cannot apply until you learn proper English.

Normally the earliest you can apply for naturalization is five years after you become a permanent resident, minus any time you spent outside the US. But here is the handbook with all the rules, and lots of Qs and As:

No, you cant.
Visas can get you an LPR (Legal Permanent Resident) status, but five years is the minimum.

you can apply after four years and nine months, but any way you will wait for interview maybe more nine months
