ATTENZIONE
Do you know the right answer?
What time did you arrive in Rome?
in rome
to arrive=static verb in english
in rome, in Italy,in europe…but arrive at the meeting,at school,at the station…
ciao!
Very good quick summary of a tricky little verb. 😉
yeah
I got to Rome
I arrived in Rome
and that’s why “sto arrivando” I’m coming…there’s a movement(by car,foot ,train ecc)…and not I’m arriving…static verb,no movement 😄
True, but you can use ‘arrive’ in the continuous form in the right circumstances:
“We got to the station just as Bob’s train was arriving.” 🙂
I didn’t know that Tony…I would have translated …was coming…
You can also use ‘coming’ but in that particular circumstance, ‘arriving’ is perhaps even better.
I arrived at that solution but a bit later! Thx😊
Better late than never, as Paolo’s grandfather always used to say.
Grandpa, Grandpa, why did you abandon me?
There were things to be done, places to go, people to see… Life is too short for stuffing mushrooms!
