Tan Le: My immigration story
TED
“There had to be another piece of the jigsaw, And I realized at the same time that it is OK to be an outsider- a recent arrival, new on the scene -- and not just OK, but something to be thankful for, perhaps a gift from the boat, Because being an insider can so easily mean collapsing the horizons, can so easily mean accepting the presumptions of your province.”

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Arrival"?Which "Arrival" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will inform you my arrival time.
✓I will inform you of my arrival time.
The verb 'inform' requires the preposition 'of' when introducing the information being given. Without it, the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
×On my arrival to the airport, I called a taxi.
✓On my arrival at the airport, I called a taxi.
The preposition 'at' is used with 'arrival' to indicate a specific point or location (e.g., airport, station, hotel). 'To' is used with the verb 'arrive' (arrive to is also incorrect; it should be 'arrive at/in'), but not with the noun 'arrival'.
×The arrival of the new product are exciting.
✓The arrival of the new product is exciting.
The subject of the sentence is 'The arrival', which is a singular noun. Therefore, the verb must agree with the singular subject ('is'), not with the plural noun in the prepositional phrase ('of the new product').
×I'm looking forward to your arrive.
✓I'm looking forward to your arrival.
After the preposition 'to' in the phrase 'look forward to', a noun or a gerund (-ing form) is required. 'Arrive' is a verb; the correct noun form is 'arrival'.
×Please confirm me your arrival date.
✓Please confirm your arrival date to me.
The verb 'confirm' is typically used with a direct object (the thing being confirmed) and can be followed by 'to' + person. The structure 'confirm someone something' is incorrect.
×We celebrated his arrive.
✓We celebrated his arrival.
After a possessive pronoun (his, her, my, etc.), a noun is required. 'Arrive' is a verb; the correct noun form is 'arrival'.
