停頓填充
在思考接下來的步驟或選項時，用作口語中的填充詞，常接「to」或「for」。 EN: So, if we arrange... to meet at the station, that should work. 翻譯: 所以，如果我們安排…在車站見面，這樣應該可行。

×We arranged a meeting on next Monday.
✓We arranged a meeting for next Monday.
表示安排在某個特定時間，應使用介系詞 "for" 或 "on"（但 "on" 通常用於具體日期，如 "on Monday"）。"arrange on" 後面通常接事件或主題，而非時間。

✓The books were arranged on the shelf.
