◇Word family
?Which word?
arrive at or in, never arrive to
Use at for a building or a point (at the airport) and in for a city or a country (in Delhi). No preposition is used with home, here and there.
Arrive के साथ to कभी नहीं आता। किसी इमारत या छोटे स्थान के लिए at आता है, जैसे 'arrive at the airport'। शहर या देश के लिए in आता है, जैसे 'arrive in Delhi'। Home, here और there से पहले कोई preposition नहीं लगता।
