Visit vs. attend.

Here’s an easy way to remember the difference between “to visit” and “to attend”:

To visit means to go to some place or person to spend some time there, usually in your free time.
e.g. “Why don’t you come for a visit?”

When you go somewhere on a regular basis or for a more or less official purpose, we use the verb to attend (school, a funeral, a meeting).

e.g. “I was unable to attend the funeral because I was attending school.”
