How to Say ‘I'm very conscientious in my work, and also very punctual.’ in Simplified Chinese
我做事很认真，也很准时。
wǒ zuò shì hěn rèn zhēn yě hěn zhǔn shí
[wo zuò shì hen rènzhēn yeh hen zhǔnshí]
💬 Usage Tip: 也 "also" goes before the adjective, never at the end of the sentence like English "too". Example: 他很忙，也很累 "He's busy and also tired".
