In Chinese, time words are flexible and often appear:

• at the beginning: 今天她没有错过会议。
• after the subject: 她今天没有错过会议。

Both are natural.

Putting 今天 after 她 is very common in everyday Mandarin. A useful basic pattern is:

Subject + Time + Negation/Verb + Object

So here:

• 她 = subject
• 今天 = time
• 没有错过 = did not miss
• 会议 = meeting

没有 is usually used to negate past actions or completed events.

Since the sentence talks about what happened today—she did not miss the meeting—没有 is the natural choice.

Compare:

• 她今天没有错过会议。 = She did not miss the meeting today.
• 她今天不错过会议。 = This sounds unnatural in this context.

A simple rule:

• 不 = general negation, habits, future, opinions
• 没有 = past actions, things that did not happen, not having

So with 错过 in this sentence, 没有 fits best.

Yes. 错过 means to miss in the sense of fail to catch / fail to attend / let something pass by.

So:

• 错过会议 = miss the meeting
• 没有错过会议 = did not miss the meeting

This is completely normal Chinese.

错过 is often used with:

• 错过火车 = miss the train
• 错过机会 = miss an opportunity
• 错过电影 = miss the movie
• 错过会议 = miss the meeting

Because not every noun needs a measure word in every situation.

A measure word is commonly needed:

• after a number: 一个会议 / 一次会议
• after 这 / 那 / 哪: 这个会议, 那次会议

But when the noun is used directly as the object of a verb, you often do not need one:

• 参加会议 = attend the meeting / attend meetings
• 错过会议 = miss the meeting
• 讨论会议内容 = discuss the meeting content

So 错过会议 is perfectly natural.

Chinese often puts the reason after the main statement, especially in longer sentences.

This sentence is structured like:

Main statement + because + reason

• 她今天没有错过会议，
• 因为她比平时更准时。

This is natural and common.

You could also put the reason first:

• 因为她比平时更准时，她今天没有错过会议。

Both are correct. The difference is mainly in emphasis and flow.

Great question. 因为...所以... is a common pattern, but 所以 is often omitted when the meaning is already clear.

So all of these are possible:

• 因为她比平时更准时，所以她今天没有错过会议。
• 她今天没有错过会议，因为她比平时更准时。
• 因为她比平时更准时，她今天没有错过会议。

In everyday Chinese, using 因为 alone is very common.

It means more punctual than usual.

Breakdown:

• 比 = compared with
• 平时 = usual times / normally / usually
• 更 = even more / more
• 准时 = punctual / on time

So:

她比平时更准时
= She was more punctual than usual.
= She was even more on time than she normally is.

They do different jobs.

• 比 introduces the comparison: than
• 更 strengthens the adjective: more / even more

So:

• 她比平时准时。 = She is punctual compared with usual.
  This is grammatical, but a bit less natural in this context.
• 她比平时更准时。 = She is more punctual than usual.
  This sounds smoother and more complete.

In many comparison sentences, 更 + adjective is very common after 比.

Pattern:

A 比 B 更 + adjective

Example:

• 今天比昨天更冷。 = Today is colder than yesterday.

Yes. 没 is the shortened spoken form of 没有 in many contexts.

So these are both natural:

• 她今天没有错过会议。
• 她今天没错过会议。

The version with 没有 sounds a little more complete or slightly more formal in writing, while 没 is very common in speech.

It is repeated because the second clause has its own subject:

• 因为她比平时更准时

Chinese often repeats the subject when moving into a new clause, especially if that makes the sentence clearer.

You might hear omission in some contexts if the subject is very obvious, but here repeating 她 is the most natural and standard choice.

So this sentence is clearer as:

• 她今天没有错过会议，因为她比平时更准时。

rather than leaving the second 她 out.

It can mean both, depending on context.

• as a person’s quality: punctual
• as arriving/starting at the correct time: on time

In this sentence, 她比平时更准时 can be understood as:

• she was more punctual than usual
• she was more on time than usual

Both work in English, but more punctual than usual fits very well.

They are similar and often both mean usually / ordinarily / in normal times.

• 平时 is very common in everyday Mandarin
• 平常 can also mean ordinary as an adjective

In this sentence, 平时 is especially natural for than usual:

• 比平时更准时 = more punctual than usual

You may also hear:

• 她比平常更准时。

That is understandable, but 比平时更准时 is a very standard phrasing.

Not here, at least not with the same meaning.

• 更准时 = more punctual
• 准时一点 = a little more punctual / slightly more on time

一点 suggests a small degree, while 更 is the standard word for comparative more.

So:

• 比平时更准时 = more punctual than usual
• 比平时准时一点 = a little more punctual than usual

The original sentence is stronger and more neutral.

When 没有 is used to negate a past action, 了 is normally not used after the verb.

So:

• 她错过了会议。 = She missed the meeting.
• 她没有错过会议。 = She did not miss the meeting.

This is a very important pattern:

• affirmative past/completed action: often verb + 了
• negative past action: usually 没有 + verb without 了

So 没有错过了会议 would be incorrect.

Yes. Chinese allows several natural word orders here. For example:

• 她今天没有错过会议，因为她比平时更准时。
• 今天她没有错过会议，因为她比平时更准时。
• 因为她比平时更准时，她今天没有错过会议。
• 她因为比平时更准时，今天没有错过会议。
  This one is possible, though less straightforward than the original.

The original sentence is very natural because it first states the result, then gives the reason.

In context, it most naturally refers to a specific meeting.

Why?

• 今天 points to a specific day
• 没有错过会议 in this context sounds like didn’t miss the meeting

Chinese often leaves definiteness unstated. Unlike English, it does not always require a or the.

So 会议 can mean:

• a meeting
• the meeting
• meetings

But in this sentence, the most likely meaning is the meeting that was relevant today.

A useful way to see it is:

Subject + Time + 没有 + Verb + Object, 因为 + Subject + 比 + Reference + 更 + Adjective

Applied here:

• 她 = subject
• 今天 = time
• 没有 = negation of past action
• 错过 = verb
• 会议 = object
• 因为 = because
• 她 = subject again
• 比平时 = compared with usual
• 更准时 = more punctual

So the sentence is built from two very common structures:

1. 她今天没有错过会议。
2. 她比平时更准时。

Then they are linked with 因为.
