Examples of arrival in a Sentence

  1. Hubert Malicote:

    I sent a telegram to my wife [about] when I would be home, as we pulled into the station in Anderson, Indiana, there was nobody on the platform. But walking along beside the train longer track was that beautiful little girl again, dressed real nice and beautiful. And the conductor said, ‘She's waiting for you.’ That was a good arrival.

  2. Steve Lindner:

    Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari.

Bush. Trump's outward aggression affected all aspects of European life, be it trade, defense or even the emotional shared ideas and cultural ties. All those things suddenly seem debased and of less value.

  5. Huaiyu Tian:

    This delay provided extra time to prepare for the arrival of COVID-19 in more than 130 cities.
