sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah, God "visits" when He turns His attention to people to reward or punish them. It does not mean a social call. Interpretation: Tradition reads God's "visiting" as His personal care and judgment. Moses says that if the rebels die an unusual death, it proves God sent him. In the primary lessons: In school maths: visits counted; visitors on different days added; trips with time and cost (each visit costs some dollars). In everyday life: visiting grandparents, friends, the dentist or a museum; a class visit (a field trip). Phrases: «pay a visit», «a visit to», «on a visit», «visiting hours» (when people may come to a hospital).

note
Past «visited» (one t at the end; do not double it). «A visit to the park», not «a visit at». A visitor is a person who visits. Maths: counted visits often multiply by a cost or a time (visits × cost of one); visitors on different days are added. Safety: a stranger who says they are «visiting» should not be let in without a grown-up.
