attending

[swallow888]

Is this sentence correct? I read this sentence in a newspaper article.

We do not agree to our daughter attending the medical appointment with Dr. Lui next Tuesday.

 

[tedmc]

I agree it is correct.
What is your doubt about the sentence?

 

[Matthew Wai]

We do not agree to our daughter having a medical appointment with Dr. Lui next Tuesday.

 

[emsr2d2]

I simply go to or have an appointment, particularly a doctor's appointment.

 

[Matthew Wai]

An appointment is an arrangement. How could you 'go to' an arrangement?

 

[emsr2d2]

It's not an arrangement. We arrange an appointment.

I am going to my doctor's appointment at 2pm this afternoon.
I will be going to a dental appointment next Tuesday.
I have four dental appointments this month. I'm fed up with them. I might only go to three of them!

OP's question is not being answered i.e. if his sentence is correct.
The present continuous tense is used to indicate something that will happen in the near future, so I don't see anything wrong with the original sentence.

 

[Matthew Wai]

I don't think it is the present continuous tense because the verb 'to be' is missing.
I consider it a present participle modifying 'daughter'.
