This verb describes being present at an event or regularly going to a class.
The idea
Use attend directly before an event or class: attend a meeting. The past is attended and the third-person present is attends.
Examples
- I attend a pottery class on Tuesdays.
- Our neighbors attended the concert in the park.
- Will you attend the meeting tomorrow?
- Many families attended the village festival.
- My brother attends evening classes at the college.
- We cannot attend the ceremony this weekend.
