The weekend is just a few hours away. Relax, enjoy it, and don't forget to look for us in your mailbox come Monday.
But first, Friday's WordMaster!
GET (to the office) 到着する
- Get can mean “arrive”.
Be Careful! For most places, we use the expression “get TO”, as in “get TO Yokohama”, “get TO school”, and “get TO the station”; however, we do NOT use “to” before the words “home”, “here”, and “there”. - get には、到着するという、意味があります。
注意: 「~に着く」と言いたい場合、get TO Yokohama, get TO school, get TO the station のように、たいていは、目的地の前に to をつけます。ただし、home, here, there に関しては、to はつけません。
- I like to get to the office early so that I can get home early.
- We never got to the party. The car broke down on the way.
- (passenger to flight attendant)
How much longer before we get to Dublin? - (at a restaurant)
a: Shall we order?
b: Let's wait until Barbara gets here.
Have a fantastic weekend!
