How to use "arrive"

We use either 'arrive in' with cities, or 'arrive at' with places. We never use 'arrive to'.

Example Sentences:

He arrived in Tokyo after a 12 hour flight.
Tom arrived at work just in time for the presentation.

Now post me your own example sentences.

Have a nice day

  9. Sophie,
    Use arrived instead of I'm arrived. And when we write about a day or date we normally use " on" so your example becomes, I arrived in Brisbane on 17th Jan 2008.
    In the second example, "class" is a place so you must use at instead of in.
    Michael arrvies at his class on time.

  10. Mia,
    Lunchtime is oneword no space between.
    in example 2, we don't put preposition between arrive and home so we say: When I arrived home.
