Plural OragesBonjour RON. I referenced this lesson because I was looking for an answer for the text in the Week 78 B1 writing challenge 'Weather Forcast" 'after a rough night which will likely be punctuated by thunderstorms' = après une nuit agitée qui devrait être ponctuée d’orages,'. I thought it might be from the ponctuée but I think its followed by par not de, I don't see any adjectives or negative sentences.

More context needed, SVPN'importe qui peut entrer chez toi ---> Anyone can come in your place I would have thought the translation to be «Anyone can enter your home.» With the translation provided, it says that «if I am unable to attend, anyone can attend in my place» like for a meeting, etc. Is this an idiomatic phrase, perhaps a UK translation? Merci en avance.

Why is "soit des vacances soit du travail" wrong as a translation of "either holiday or work"?

depuis suggests using the present but what about when the sentence describes a condition?La Dame en Noir hante (why not hantait?) cette maison depuis des siècles.

I wrote "j'adore Sarah..." and it was wrong! When I see "with all my heart", I believe it is correct to use the strongest alternative.

Article contractionsDoes de l'orages not contract even if orages is plural. So not "des orages" but "de l'orages." Although on second thoughts its probably "le orages" not "les orages."
