### 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.
