attend 用法說明

1. 表示“參加”、“出席”，通常用作及物動(dòng)詞，其賓語(yǔ)通常是meeting, party, show, wedding, class, lecture, school, church等(以及類似具有“活動(dòng)”意義的名詞)。如：

Did you attend the meeting yesterday? 你昨天去開會(huì)了嗎?

He was ill and didn’t attend school. 他有病，沒有去上學(xué)。

Her lecture was well attended. 聽她演講的人很多。

有時(shí) attend 后的賓語(yǔ)可以省略，此時(shí)為不及物動(dòng)詞。如：

They had a quiet wedding --- only a few friends attended (it). 他們的婚禮靜悄悄的，只有幾個(gè)朋友參加。

attend 表示“參加”(會(huì)議等)與 join (“加入”某一組織并成為其中一個(gè)成員----become a member of)不同，參見并比較 join的有關(guān)用法。
