Introduction to the verb arriver
The English translation of the French verb arriver is “to arrive.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ah-ree-vay.”
The word “arriver” comes from the Latin word “arripare,” meaning “to arrive.” It is most often used in everyday French as a regular -er verb, meaning that it follows the same conjugation pattern as other verbs ending in -er. In the Futur Proche tense, it is used to talk about actions that will happen in the near future.
Some examples of arriver in the Futur Proche tense are:
-

-
Nous allons arriver à temps pour le dîner. (We are going to arrive on time for dinner.)
In these examples, the verb arriver is conjugated with the auxiliary verb aller in the present tense, followed by the infinitive form of arriver. The English translations also use the verb “to be going to” to express future actions.
