☆ tend　世話をする

============================

If you “tend” to something, you look after it, or take care of it.
In a working situation you would use “tend” if you looked after
people, in particular, while they are sick. Or if you look after
gardens! It is quite a formal word, and most people would just
say “take care of” or “look after” in regular conversation.

Here are some example sentences:
He tends the flower beds that he planted in the driveway.
The nurse tended him during his illness.

Bye,
Chris

何かを「tend(世話をする)」するということは気を配り、面倒をみるということです。
仕事の場では、とりわけ病人の世話をする際にはこの「tend」を使います。
また、庭の手入れなどの場合も使います。
フォーマルな言葉なので、通常は「take care of」や「look after」を使うことが多いですね。
例文を挙げましょう：

He tends the flower beds that he planted in the driveway.
(彼は、ドライブウエイに植えた花壇の世話をしていた。)

The nurse tended him during his illness.
(看護師は、彼が病気の間面倒を見ていた)

それでは！
