1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,559 After you arrive in New York, you can probably arrive at your hotel within 2 00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:12,599 an hour. Since you'll be arriving with luggage, I'd suggest taking a taxi 3 00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:19,440 and when you arrive by taxi, the hotel will have a special entrance just 4 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:29,039 for you. Let's discuss Welcome to another Happy English podcast, coming to you 5 00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:34,679 from New York City. And here's your English teacher, Michael. All right, 6 00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:40,079 thank you John, and thanks everyone. It's Michael here from Happy English 7 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:46,880 and I help people speak English better. And this is Happy English Podcast Episode 8 00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:54,159 six ninety eight. Arrive. I am so happy to be back here with 9 00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:00,479 you for this podcast episode. I was down with COVID last week, but 10 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:07,040 I'm finally back on my feet. Prepositions can be tricky in English. I 11 00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:14,959 know that just as well as you do, and which preposition you choose can 12 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,040 depend on a number of factors, including the context of the conversation as well 13 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,120 as the grammar rules. Well, today we're going to have a look at 14 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:34,920 the verb arrive and all of the different preposition combinations that exist based on these 15 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,760 two points, grammar rules and context. As you know, context is king. 16 00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:49,480 The first context we'll talk about has to do with place You can arrive 17 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,599 in a country, arrive in a city, arrive in a town, arrive 18 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,920 in a village, or arrive in any other place that has a geographical border. 19 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,479 In other words, if you can see the place on a map, 20 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:15,240 you can arrive in that place. Here are some examples. The train arrived 21 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:22,919 in New York City at four o'clock. Tommy arrived in France in October. 22 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,800 I'm going to arrive in Tokyo in the afternoon. In all other locations, 23 00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:38,599 places, and even events, you can arrive at. You can arrive at 24 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:44,960 a building, arrive at the office, arrive at the park, arrive at 25 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,000 a concert, and even arrive at a party. For example, the train 26 00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:57,319 arrived at Grand Central Station at four o'clock. I arrived at the party a 27 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,560 half hour late. I don't know what time I'll arrive at the hotel, 28 00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:07,800 but I'll send you a text when I get there. The next type of 29 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,800 context has to do with time, and in this case the preposition you use 30 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:20,840 depends on the rule for using prepositions with time. In other words, we 31 00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:27,039 use at for clock, time on for a day or a date, and 32 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:34,719 in for everything else. Here are some examples. The boss arrived at nine 33 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,360 to thirty this morning. My cousin said she's going to arrive on Tuesday. 34 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:46,439 If you ship those items by cmail, they are not going to arrive until 35 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:54,719 spring. Next. You can arrive with when you talk about the people or 36 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,719 things that accompany you on your trip. For example, thanks a lot for 37 00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:08,879 recommending that plumber. He arrived with all of the tools and parts that he 38 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,759 needed to finish the job in one day. Once the boss arrives with the 39 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,759 CEO, we can begin the meeting. You can also use arrived by to 40 00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:28,879 talk about transportation, either the kind of transportation you use to go somewhere or 41 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:36,439 how something gets shipped. Here are some examples. Tony arrived by taxi. 42 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:43,560 That's how he got here so quickly. Most of your order will arrive by 43 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,759 air cargo in around one week. The rest of the items will arrive by 44 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,600 ship. And finally, we use arrive for when we want to talk about 45 00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:01,800 the purpose of the trip. For example, we arrived for the wedding ceremony 46 00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:09,319 with plenty of time to spare. That hotel was great. We arrived for 47 00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:15,360 the buffet lunch and it was really excellent. Keep in mind the best way 48 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:19,839 to remember this or any English point is to take the word or phrase, 49 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:25,920 write it in a sentence that's true for you or true in your world, 50 00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:31,839 and then memorize your sentences. Well, I suppose we have arrived at the 51 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:38,120 end of this English lesson.
