Is delivered in a timely way

Hi,


Could you please tell me what the following question is asking about?
Sorry I am not sure.

Is it EQUIVALENT TO asking how I can ensure I can submit my work before deadlines?

Sentence:
How do you ensure that the work you do is delivered in a timely way?

Thanks

Hi uktous, You are correct. Although it does not actually say 'deadline', that would be the implication of 'in a timely way'. " Also note the potential difference between ensure and insure .

  • In AmE, at least the last time i checked, ensure was used to express the assurance that something would be done while insure was limited to guarantees of life and property.
  • BrE may use these words differently.

Thank you!

When I look at my dictionary, "timely" = occurring at just the right time

and it doesn't seem to relate to "deadline", so

I would like to open this discussion.
