Attend for Dummies

Now, "attend" can also mean being physically present at a particular place or event. For example, when you go to school, you attend school. Or when you go to your friend's birthday party, you attend the party. It's like being there in person and joining in on the fun or learning that's happening around you. It's important to remember that attending something means that you're not just physically present, but you're also actively involved and engaged with what's going on. Let me give you another example to help you understand it better. Imagine a basketball game in your school gym. The players on the court are attending the game because they're actively involved, dribbling, passing, and shooting the ball. The spectators in the stands are also attending the game, but in a different way. They are cheering, clapping, and watching closely to enjoy the game. They're not playing, but they are actively participating through their presence and attention. That's another way "attend" can be used! To sum it up, "attend" means actively paying attention and being engaged in something or physically being present at a specific place or event. Whether it's attending a class, attending a party, or attending a game, the key is to actively participate and be involved. Remember, learning new words is like attending a conversation! You need to be present, engage with the words, and be curious to understand their meanings. You're doing great by asking questions!
