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.
