Smile how to use "thorough"
Can we use "thorough" to describe a person?

E. g. I think i am a thorough person.

Is it ok?

I’m not a teacher.

Hi ruiqidj,

thorough (a) (of a person) very careful; attending to every detail a thorough worker.

“I’ve always known that I was a thorough person when it came to absorbing and understanding knowledge and getting most things done.“

Regards,

V.
