Hi.

What does this sentence mean?

"Mr. John Byrne will attend [STRIKE]at[/STRIKE] these offices from 6.30 p.m. onwards space here every Friday evening."

Please no comma here explain what [STRIKE]does[/STRIKE] "onwards" means in this sentence. [STRIKE]And[/STRIKE] Also, please no comma here tell me at what time [STRIKE]does[/STRIKE] that person attends the offices.

Note my corrections above.

Also please tell us where you found that (ungrammatical) sentence. The word "at" should not be there. You must provide the source and author of any text you didn't write yourself.

[STRIKE]So[/STRIKE] Does it mean that he will attend [STRIKE]at[/STRIKE] the offices every Friday evening from 6:30?

It means he will arrive at 6.30pm every Friday but it does not state what time he will leave.
