Hello!
An online Dictionary instructs "tend" is a transitive verb, with an illustration as below, when it means look after.
tend - definition of tend by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
But I found "tend to some" from Washington Post. Here's the snippet with the URL link.
How should I use "tend someone" and "tend to someone" when it comes to "look after"?
Many thanks!
