覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
arrive「到着する」の語末の黙字 e を取り、-ing を付けた形が arriving で、発音は /əˈraɪvɪŋ/ です。Arriving early なら動名詞で「早く到着すること」、is arriving soon なら現在分詞で「もうすぐ到着する」。arrive at the station、arrive in Tokyo の前置詞も一緒に覚えます。
Begin with arrive, meaning “reach a destination.” Before adding -ing, remove the final silent e: arrive becomes arriving, pronounced /əˈraɪvɪŋ/. The sentence pattern shows its role. Arriving early helped us treats the event as a noun, while she is arriving soon presents a planned or developing arrival. Learn the usual prepositions too: arrive at a station or small place, arrive in Tokyo or another city or country, and arrive home with no preposition. This keeps arriving distinct from leaving or merely traveling.
例文

彼女はもうすぐ駅に到着します。
Arriving early helped us get good seats.
早く到着したので、よい席を取れました。

arriving の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 arripare（岸に着く）から古フランス語 ariver を経て英語に入った。ad-（～へ）＋ ripa（川岸）が語根。関連語: river（川）、arrival（到着）。「川岸にたどり着く」が原義で、そこから一般的な「到着」の意味に広がった。
Arriving is formed from arrive plus -ing, with the final silent e removed. Arrive entered English through Old French ariver, from a Latin formation based on ad-, “to,” and ripa, “shore” or “riverbank.” It originally conveyed reaching the shore and later broadened to reaching any destination. The suffix -ing allows the action to function as a participle or gerund.
