Qual é a diferença entre represent e on behalf of ?Podes indicar apenas respostas exemplo.

Represent has multiple meanings. I assume you are referring to the legal meaning which is similar to acting "on behalf of" someone (in an official capacity).

If you "represent" someone or do something "on behalf of someone" it means you speak or act in place of that person.

Instead of letting that person speak or act for himself/herself, you speak or act based on what you believe the other person wants you to do (or based on what you think is best for the other person).

In this context, "represent" is the verb meaning to speak/act on behalf of someone else (in an official capacity) whereas "on behalf of" is an expression describing an act performed while representing someone else.

Examples:

"I hired a lawyer to represent you in the court hearing tomorrow."

"I decided to represent the opposing side in the class debate because no one else volunteered."

"Susan had to speak on behalf of David at the meeting because David was unable to attend."

"I wrote a letter to the head teacher on behalf of my fellow classmates regarding Mr. Jones' inappropriate behaviour in the classroom."
