i attended vs i participated

Both 'I attended' and 'I participated' are correct phrases, but they are used in different contexts. 'I attended' is used when you were present at an event, meeting, or class. 'I participated' is used when you actively took part in an activity or event. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize being present or actively engaging in the event.
