Using the wrong preposition
1. Anxious (= troubled) about, not for.
Don’t say: They’re anxious for his health.
Say: They’re anxious about his health.
Note : Anxious meaning “wishing very much” takes for: Parents are anxious for their children’s success.
2. Arrive at, not to.
Don’t say: We arrived to the village at night.
Say: We arrived at the village at night.
Note : Use “arrive in” with countries and large cities: Mr Smith has arrived in London. (Or New York, India, etc.)
