Question

Analysis of a sentence
'You can attend the meeting'

Is 'the meeting' an object? Is 'attend' a transitive verb?

Answer

Yes, Ana Pau, you're right on both points. Note that English "attend" is equivalent to Spanish "asistir a." (To an extent, the reverse is true as well.) English "attend to" can mean the same as "take care of. Note that English "assist" means to help, NOT "to be present at a class or meeting."

Answer

Yes, "attend" is a transitive verb and "meeting" is the object.
