conscience

Noun B1 – Intermediate

The inner sense that tells you whether what you're doing is morally right or wrong.

"Her conscience wouldn't let her keep the extra change the cashier gave her."

"Conscience" (moral sense) and "conscious" (awake and aware) are spelled similarly but mean very different things.
