Vartosenos šablonas:
an attendant at [a place]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse 'attendant' with 'attendance' (the state of being present) and with 'attendee' (a person who goes to an event). For service jobs, use 'attendant'; for someone going to a conference, use 'attendee'; for the general idea of people present, use 'attendance'.
Sinonimai
assistant (Broader and more general; not limited to service jobs in public places.)
|
service worker (Emphasizes the job type rather than the role at a specific location.)
Antonimai
customer (The person being served, rather than the person doing the serving.)

Learners may use 'attendant' like 'attending' (for example, *'attendant school'* instead of 'attending school'). As an adjective, 'attendant' is mainly formal and used before abstract nouns like 'risks', 'problems', or in the phrase 'attendant on/upon'. Use 'attending' or 'present' for people who are there.

person present at an event
A person who is there at an event, such as a meeting, wedding, or ceremony.
Vartosenos šablonas:
an attendant at [an event]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use 'attendant' instead of the more natural modern word 'attendee' for people who go to conferences or meetings. In most modern contexts, say 'conference attendees' rather than 'conference attendants'. 'Attendant' is still used, but sounds more formal or old-fashioned in this sense and can also be confused with the 'service worker' meaning.
Sinonimai
attendee (The more common modern word for someone who goes to an event; 'attendant' can sound more formal or old-fashioned in this sense.)
|
participant (Implies more active involvement than 'attendant', which can include passive presence.)
Antonimai
absentee (Someone who is expected but not present at the event.)
