🔘Arrive

😨We arrived to London at nine o’clock.✖️
😇We arrived in London at nine o’clock.✔️

😨We finally arrived in the coach station.✖️
😇We finally arrived at the coach station.✔️

You arrive at a place, such as a station, airport, etc. and you arrive in acountry or city. You never arrive to a place or a country or city.


Note also that you do not use a preposition between the word arrive and the words home, here, there, somewhere, or anywhere:

🔅We arrived home just after midnight.
🔅I arrived here yesterday.
We’d only just arrived there.

How to say..?

🔘Arrival

😨At your arrival, please report to the visitors’ office.✖️
😇On your arrival, please report to the visitors’ office. ✔️

😨At his arrival, he went straight to the hotel.✖️
😇On his arrival, he went straight to the hotel.✔️


If you want to say that something happens immediately after someone
arrives at a place, you can say it happens on/upon their arrival
.

Note that this is a slightly formal phrase. Do not say at their arrival.

How to say..?

08 Dec, 15:04


#common_mistakes

🔘Travel/journey/trip/voyage

😨I’m going away on a business travel.✖️
😇I’m going away on a business trip.✔️

😨We had to do quite a long car travel.✖️
😇We had to do quite a long car journey.✔️

Travel, meaning ‘the act of travelling’ is uncountable. Do not say a travel.
Instead, use a journey, a trip or, less commonly (on a ship)¸ a voyage:

🔅We’re going on a day trip to the seaside.
🔅On long journeys, Emily often gets sick.
🔅It was the ship’s second voyage.

Note that you do not use the verb do with any of these nouns. You make or
go on a journey, you take or go on a trip, and you make a voyage:

🔅He made the long journey to India.
🔅We took a bus trip to Oxford.
🔅The ship made the 4,000-kilometre voyage across the Atlantic.

he’s a dark horse and I think he’ll win the election.

2. At the racetrack, we placed our money on a horse
most people had never seen before, but was expected

the work.

2. Richard is such a fat cat businessman. He owns
several supermarkets.

.

🔘POUND OF FLESH

▪️a (figuratively) painful payment of a debt.

their pound of flesh
.

2. You’ve been annoying me for days about the ten
dollars I owe you, but I’m afraid I don’t have the money right now. You’ll have to wait for your pound of flesh.

▪️The expression originates from Shakespeare’s play The

2. Because of the country’s debt problems, the government has had to put its plans to expand the national medical program on the back burner.


▪️The expression on the back burner comes from cooking on a standard stove, which has four burners, two in front and two in back.

2. When we asked them about their trip, they said they
couldn’t complain about it but the hotel was nothing
to write home about
.

▪️Antonyms: something to crow about; a feather in one’s cap.

▪️The expression originates from the idea that if one were
writing a letter to one’s family, the person or thing or event
in question is so ordinary or insignificant that one wouldn’t
even mention it in the letter
.

at windmills.


▪️The expression originates from Miguel de Cervantes’s novel

and, thinking that they are giants, tries to defeat them in
battle by tilting at them (stabbing while running or riding past) with his lance (long spear).
