基本含义
attend 是一个常用英语动词，主要有以下两个核心含义：
- 出席；参加（如会议、课程、活动等）
例：She will attend the conference next week. - 照顾；照料（多用于正式或医疗语境）
例：The nurse attended the patient day and night.
常见搭配
- attend a meeting / class / lecture / party / wedding
- attend to someone / something（处理某事；照顾某人）
- regularly attend school / church
实用例句
- All students are expected to attend class on time.
- He couldn’t attend the funeral due to illness.
- Please attend to your work and stop chatting.

注意事项
attend 强调“到场并参与”，通常不用于非正式聚会。例如，朋友间的聚会一般说 go to 或 come to，而不是 attend。
此外，attend 是及物动词，后面直接接宾语，无需介词（如不说 attend to a meeting）。
