Tips

Arrive In, Arrive At, but Never “Arrive To”

  1. Llegar a no se traduce como arrive to. Aprende arrive in y arrive at como patrones completos.
  2. Usa arrive in para ciudad/país y arrive at para un punto específico como office o airport.
  3. Enter ya contiene la idea de entrar: “enter the room,” sin to ni in.
