treatment

Please teache me which is proper to use in those cases.
( meaning: give medical treatment )

1 tend (the cut / a wound)

or

2 tend to (the cut / a wound)

Is it possible to use attend instead of tend ?

Hi Momento To me, "tend" is used somewhat more generally than "tend to". momento 1 tend (the cut / a wound) or 2 tend to (the cut / a wound) "Tend" can be used with a general meaning of "watch over something" or "manage" as in " tend a flock of sheep ", " tend bar ", " tend the garden ". "Tend to" is used somewhat more specifically to mean "deal with the problems or needs of someone/something".

  • Thus, I'd probably choose "tend to", but I think either "tend" or "tend to" are possible in the context.
  • I'd say it is not possible to use "attend" in that context.
