Hi Teacher,

I would like to know How to use attend in the sentence as below;
1. We're attended to make a cook. Is it correct?
2. We're attended the party to make a cook. Is it correct?

I wonder that attend follow by noun/place only? and I would like to know that it can follow by verb or not.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

"Attend" is a verb so I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Sentence 1 does not make sense at all. "We are attended" is ungrammatical and "to make a cook" means nothing.
Sentence 2 has problems too. Again "We're attended" is ungrammatical.

Are you trying to use the past tense of "to attend"? If so, it's just "We attended", meaning "We went to".

Hi Teacher,

I would like use the passive voice in present tense as "we are attended the party to sing a song" Is this sentence correct?

No. If you really needed to write a passive version of "We attended a party", it would be "A party was attended by us". It's very unnatural in the passive.
