Usage Note
Puntual has two distinct meanings that can trip up learners: 'on time' (llegar puntual) and 'specific, particular' (un problema puntual = 'a one-off issue'). In the second sense it is roughly equivalent to English 'specific' or 'isolated'. The adverb puntualmente and noun puntualidad follow regularly.
Examples
"Ana siempre es puntual a las reuniones."
Natural Translation
Ana is always punctual to meetings.
